I must give this era of music to Brandy. I see so many musical artist so staged these days, using high budgets, name recognition, sex, brand-standing, features, etc., to sell their craft. These sometimes have their place, but it gets to be a point where it's just cliché, overdone, and unoriginal.
Brandy is different.
She has her own agenda, her own formula, and her own craft with absolutely no comparison. I'm so proud of her single choices Baby Mama (single parent awareness) and Borderline (mental health awareness). But what I admire most is her honesty.
Brandy is not a commercial, smoke 'n mirrors musical artist. B7 is a testament to this, that she can sing her truth and it's amazing. It's not even the songs, the lyrics, the visuals...it's the authenticity of the whole package that makes her a true legend.
She's not just called the Vocal Bible because of her tone, she speaks truth that connect with the heart and soul.

:lopsided: This whole fucking part!!!!
It's a wonderful album and, almost, everything that I wanted from her. I think it'll be a slow burner for people, but a lot of what you said is true!
Whew :gorlonfire:
I love the authenticity. You can just tell this is the album she's been wanting to make for a long time
I really did enjoy this album.
I think I might have my class pick a song from this album this fall and I'll give them extra credit if they contextualize it well haha

I bought 4 copies, so will give some away to friends!
Speak OAK
Who is this
:gorlonfire:
The album is cohesive and you can tell this was very personal for her. Some of the lyrics cut deep as fuck and give you more insight into her life like never before. This is what the starz truly wanted from her for a long time this is an album that will grows on you. The general public just needs to warm to it tho cause it isn't the traditional r&b but I love how progressive Bran is with each album sonically she's like the "R&B version of Madonna" when it comes to image and reinventing her genre of music if that makes sense. I have the album on repeat :gorlonfire:
Her most honest project. You can FEEL it. It's a masterpiece.

I get want you're saying I think, but Brandy took off the filters; she is no one's muse, isn't dictated by the status quo, and (at least this era) following her own, uncharted path, both lyrically and managerially. It's when I realized this that B7 became such an easy listen.

I think I've been a lurker since...2006 or so? Finally decided to make an account this year!
I mean I kinda get it but some of these lyrics are not making any type of sense
" Just cause I can sing for you
Sounds like
Brandy
candy"

The longevity is very apparent with this album.
The album was cool I wouldn't say every album vocals are all on b7. I think it was album to get her personal issue out the way. I will say I do miss the full moon adlibs. She did a little at the very end of "no tomorrow". Overall I'm glad she got to express her rooted problems an can't wait for she has in store next album
I don't understand why people want Brandy to do what she's already done before when you can literally just go listen to her old albums...there's nothing to "miss" :dead:
I just hate you can barley hear what she saying.....

I mean we know their old albums....but just saying she didn't do a lot of free styling adlibs that she always do.
