Thought you all would enjoy this new article saying B7 has potential to have an Emancipation of Mimi/The Breakthrough type of comeback. I'm excited to see how the industry and general public reacts to the music.

This was a good read!
An Emancipation/Breakthrough era is not happening...we don't live in those times for any genre anymore :dead:
The article also suggested a #1 on the overall charts, which is also an unrealistic REACH nfndjf
I definitely can see b7 being her most critically acclaimed album to date though. I want Grammy noms and WINS. I do hope this is her "comeback" album, but success is going to look different
I think it will be appreciated critically... and that's all I'm expecting.
This was a cute read, hope everything they mentioned comes true

This.
I think B7 will be a game changer. The girls will try their hardest to emulate her sound as they've been doing or years. :supluv:
camper beggin bran to be on this project will up his value as well
rodney will be fuming a bit
Rig did you write this? :plzstop:
Now we all want Ghan to succeed but this is some pie in the sky, fairydust mess. :dead:

I think she is, at least, pulling for that

Yeah, I think that'll happen. She's got enough industry respect now.

I think Bran will surprise us tho in the charts dept. Esp since this is her first album release with the streaming component being so prevalent, and Love Again proved she has enough listeners to do good.
Damn ya'll so negative. This article was written clearly before Taylor dropped. Had she not dropped, Bran def would have had the number one spot.
Also, Bran will have at least two grammy nods, mark my words. It's easily forseable.
I'm not expecting anything from this album. Not that I dont believe it can do well commercially or critically, but I'm just hoping to love the music and hope that since she's indie now, that she'll work on putting out another album in 2 yrs.
I don't understand the obsession some of you have with sales or what this album is gonna do on the charts.
This isn't gonna be a blockbuster seller, she's an R&B artist over 40 and no one in the industry is really even moving units like that anymore.

Exactly! Brandy doesn't seem invested in commercial success, anyway.
Rather Be has me FED! I just want a good album.

she probably wouldn't have
She's competing with Taylor, Lana and all those rappers thatve been occupying space in the top 10
A top 20 mess is more realistic with her being independent and all
Decent read 👌🏾. I'm hoping for the best.
Cool read but definitely different times....

I think she definitely will have the #1 R&B album on the iTunes chart for sure.... lol and I think her album will debut somewhere within Billboard Top 100
Let's not jinx it ....
I just wanna enjoy the music.
This moment is going to be huge for her in its own way.
Simply off of the love she's going to receive. It's going to be beautiful to see.
Her first independent album; almost like a debut all over again

The Fight for More Meaningful Music
When Brandy's B7 arrives, it will not only sound like Brandy but feel like her too. That's because she co-wrote all but one track, something that the credits on her previous albums don't reflect. "I never really had written a lot of the songs in my career," Brandy said to Rated R&B. "I think that every artist gets to the point where they want to find their own way to express themselves. For me, this is my first time really expressing myself from my own perspective."
:stressed:
n this article is full of fairy tales. not gonna happen. Lol

Very nice read. I hope big things happen for B7 too.
:wub:
do people really think it's gonna debut in the 10-20 on billboard 200 main? and that's not fucking shade at all
Idk if it's the pandemic but it doesn't really feel like a new Brandy album is coming out this week . I need them to turn it up a few notches
Really depends on the promo and what she has planned.
I compare this roll out to Gaga and she was on her official second single with a video by now
Why would you compare this to an artist that's not 25 years in and on a major label

Don't underestimate Queen. She may not be coming for that number 1 spot, but I bet she exceeds most expectations.

She deserves it! I really hope so. I will be doing my part ( amazon , iTunes , and Tidal streaming )

I was comparing the roll out
Which is traditional, with the release of the second single close to the album release

She's going to be fine. I'm excited for her.
Lol some of y'all have no faith whatsoever.
And it does seem like Rig ghost wrote on this :dead:
Manifestation is real yall. Not saying that you can't have realistic expectations but all this "not gonna happen" energy isn't good either. Let's just hope for the best in all areas...charts, acclaim, recognition, awards, etc. Hope for the best! Period. Not expect it, but just hope for it. People have been missing the B'Rocka sound and you can tell by the reception of Rather Be.
🥴
And at the end of the day, she's BRANDY
lets not fckn forget THAT

See these articles are dangerous because it sets unrealistic expectations. Let's just enjoy the album and support
Really hate when people or publications and fans do this
Unnecessary expectations she didn't ask for all so people on this board can end up throwing shade and dragging her for what they think she should be doing.
Late late late
Y'all been talking about the Emancipation since the Human era. Let it fucking go
Wishing all the best ♥️

I just want Brandy to continue to add great music to her discography. Because, at the end of the day, that is what really matters. You wanna be remembered for your music. You wanna have music that you can sing down the line when you are older. My girls Brandy and Monica have done that soooooooo..... 😁

I'm supporting 100% and I know she'll do amazing. Some of you seem pessimistic

its so gross
don't care about sales.
the album will get critical approval and that's all that matters
bring on the MUSIC and hopefully some performances etc.
also, no shade, but this wasn't written well
OKAY can someone make a post or thread about this streaming mess and how it all works for each streaming service. I don't understand the mess

i know alot of yall dont care about charts but it would be nice to see her do well on the charts. Some of yall get so tough when ppl bring up charts and stats but why not? an album is coming. its gonna be discussed. if you dont like it move the fuck around a bit
The fact that this album is no longer in the "coming soon" stage is enough for me to celebrate, regardless of the performance.

Not focusing on that. Just focusing on doing my part and sharing positive vibes. The negativity doesn't do much but make ppl look miserable as fuck.
So what some of these folks can come back two weeks from now and throw a bunch "told you so" commentary. For what? Just wish Queen well, purchase and pump.
