Great great write up in general and you can tell they know their shit. They kinda trashed Human but that album still means a lot to me in its own way

'Love Again' really really slays. I haven't said that enough
SAML is just.... :stressed:
This song has became one of my favorites on the album!
It was a cool album brandy can do better ❤️.....hopefully next album better production, producers an SANNNNGING!! But I do respect her in opening up an writing. But it's time to bring in the heavy underground producer or some that's in the industry.

2. Brandy
3. Full Moon

5. Afro
6. Two eleven
7. human

I was JUST thinking that. I think it might be her best duet..
Love Again is awesome! I can't believe I didn't use before. The production doesn't fit in with the album though. Plan B works so much better but I know there were business reasons why they made that decision.
That's why I have my b7 playlist

It's SO different from everything out
That's what's I love most about it
And it feels like the Ultimate, intimate, Brandy experience

i can see that
I do like where it's placed within the context of the Album's story. The concept of maybe reconnecting and getting on the right path in this unstable love
:loose2when:
It's pretty much just B7 vs. Two Eleven. :welllol:
I appreciated Two Eleven at the time, but it didn't excite me or grab me the way B7 did.
Two Eleven was a decent placeholder; but that's the Brandy album I've revisited the least out of her discography over the years, just above the self-titled.

I still love the debut. That's the only no skip Brandy album for me.
I can't really listen or be moved to the debut anymore outside of the singles and Always On My Mind... I'm never like let me just pop in the debut & get in..
Now from NSN and on, I always have special moments with each album throughout the year

I can't tell you the last time I've played the debut straight through. But every song is enjoyable. For me it's great for nostalgia.
And I totally agree with you on the last part.

I'll listen to it, maybe, twice out of the year.
It's a cute album that
is worth revisiting every now and then, but it's not in regular rotation... not by a long shot.
Never Say Never and Afrodisiac are the two that I revisit the most, with Full Moon following behind.

Yea Love Again is definitely one of the standout tracks on the album. Easily listenable. B7 is an dope album overall I have one petty gripe though, it's too short. I need that deluxe no later than the winter.
