Eh the album is a least favorite to me
The music Is good and glad she back but This album is a therapy session
and all of her albums are about alignment in terms of what speaks to you more
shes put this project out but its not a real-time snapshot of her state of being
she took the time to do the work (shadow work)
others who have not done their shadow work will find alot of resonance with it (pandemic forced alot of ppul to reflect and do shaddow work) and those who have can take it or leave it
its more of a Human Monster to me (like gagas the fame and the fame monster)
alot of the rawness of these songs have been watered down because of this perfectionist stuff she does
and with mixing issues even though minor
she did not follow her gut instincts musically and it shows (working with camper, redoing the songs, not solid on the tracklisting)
I hope she grows alot more as a secure decision making independent artist moving forward
Ive gifted a few ppul the album because i said i would when it dropped but I am a bit embarrassed to have them listen
cause its just not the brandy we usually promote
but
yeah
On to B8
....um
Don't give a fuck.
Not reading this book tbh.

I understand your opinion
I'm glad Brandy's is still making music!! This wasn't my favorite album but can't wait what she has in stores!! More new producers an challenging vocals.....can't wait until that day

your care to express your dismay about things all the time and it really doesnt matter at the end of the day so oh well
It makes sense that you would like the album
2/11 expressed a full circle of the life experience leaning more to the brighter and loving side of things
b7 dives deep into self worth isses and overcomming hurt
and trying to move forward
so makes sense youd enjoy it
I never get a high vibrational energy from you anyhow

Production is a real WOMP
so its her vocals yet again that saves the project

no but i watched the making of her ep and she said shes happy and she has her family
so ppul still wanting a no air tea may be disapointed
life isnt all about struggle & heartache yknow
:kii: :kii: :kii:
I def feel like her next project will be better than B7. Now that her name is back out there and the MENT phase is over and done with, we can prob get more records like Rather Be. Her writing will improve and I think everyone else will up their game.

On to B8
Thanks for your take. Although I feel like there were some cringe-worthy assumptions made about the process of the album and her involvement (unless you were involved in creating the album in which case I take that back).
Nonetheless still playing this masterpiece on repeat 💫💫
I'm sorry I love this album lol
I feel like she went into it with a lot less pressure so she was able to be more creative
The album is definitely flawed, but I feel like it's her most genuine. No Brandy album has ever made me this emotional. Her pain resonates through each song. She really poured her heart out on this album.
Though I struggled in the beginning, I love the unconventional structure of the lyrics and melodies. Like India Arie said it feels very Broadway. I love that the lyrics are so personal. It's like only she and the person the song is about will really get it, but it's still relatable. Of course it's not her best production wise, but Brandy is a true artist so her technique will elevate anything. Contrary to popular opinion I think her and Camper worked well together and I have no problem with him doing b8. They will learn from their mistakes and get better.
The album reminds me so much of Amy Winehouse FRANK album (which is my favorite album ever). I think they are both great (deeply personal) and flawed (not the most polished at some parts) for the same reasons.
Is this her best work? Probably not, depending on how you look at it. But it's definitely my fave album by her.
It's near impossible to live up to the hype/expectations after an 8 year break.
One of my main issues with the album is that it doesn't, (in my opinion) seem cutting edge or changing the game. The R&B girls have been doing this Lo-Fi beats, stream of consciousness, lack of structure song production for years now. Obviously Bran is gonna put her spin on it, but the way she's presenting these songs (other than harmonies) is nothing new or revolutionary to the genre. And I'm actually surprised to see so many people on here going up for it when I know that was a huge gripe from a lot of y'all about these new "can't write a bridge" girls :dead:
Also, I'm let down by the material. After these years of teasing about this being her most personal mess yet, it still seems rather detached. Co-opting mental illnesses as metaphors for relationships when you haven't truly lived with that diagnosis is a bit messy, to say the least. It bothers me how quickly she separated herself from the songs in interviews, saying she wasn't bipolar or borderline but relationships have made her feel like that :dead: It all feels a bit disingenuous.
Usually I can get past songs or content I don't like because her voice saves the day. I've always felt her voice can make the shittiest song good, and there's always some inflection that gets me in my feelings, even if it's a song that I don't like. On B7 her voice feels very gruff, and like she's deliberately trying not to sound technically proficient. There's no vocal moment I rewind over and over like on all her other albums. She sounds like she did on FR and B&P on a lot of this album.
It's helped me to listen to this album as if it were coming from another artist. I was less critical, and able to enjoy it more. I definitely do not understand how people are already putting this above Afro and Full Moon on their lists, but to each their own. I think she should have released SAML, UO, LD, Borderline, NT, SS, and BB as the EP 4 years ago when they first started working on this. It doesn't really work as a full album for me and def feels cobbled together on the back end.
I think she will benefit from a shorter break between albums next time as well. I know she's been sitting on this music for years, and that's probably part of the reason it doesn't feel very of the moment. But I get she needed to get this out of her system and move on.
I like that you framed it as a therapy session Lew and her doing her shadow work through her art. I think that helps me to be more understanding around why it feels like it lacks as a whole. I also love that everyone seems to be delicate about mental health issues now, wowz lolz!
Thanks for sharing your take, seems like any dissent around here is getting ridiculed...by the same ppl who dont enjoy ridicule...

!!!!! I definitely understand. Although I find B7 MUCH better than Human... :dead: I do agree that kinda it's in that same territory as Human. It's very moody. It's not
an album that I can listen to everyday, unlike NSN, Fullmoon, Afrodiasic, and 2/11. B7 is very mood specific and I have to be on that vibe to wanna hear it. It's a good album, but besides my like 2 or 3 token songs, I haven't really revisited the album. I'm just not on that vibe right now and in the mood for it. Still a good album, but yea...
MY issue was the quality. :dead:

Overall the FEEL of Human is not my tea. BUT the quality and vocals keep me coming back over and over again, even though I don't really like the alber that much :dead:
Shit. Her vocals on Camouflage alone slay anything on B7 twice over. The EMOTION :plzstop:
I do want for her to tap more into her upper range again on the next record. Especially with the shape her voice is in now. Some songs on B7 were just a bit too low. Like Bye Biploar. It was literally in the key of a male singer.
It's not my least fav, but it's not up there for me either.
We'll see how it ages.
Because 2/11 was hot for me at the time, but I only listen to 5 or 6 songs from that album anymore, if that.

That's one thing I miss about Rodney- he was always pushing her higher in her range and I think it kept things from sounding too monotone b/c her voice would brighten up as she went up there.
Bye Bipolar is near Monica-level of vocal sloppiness to me. Way too deep and brassy sounding with unecessary running everywhere. I truly can't fathom how people call this one of her best vocals. Not MANdy :plzstop:
This was astute
I do feel like it actively frames where she stands and
considering that she's needed to get this off her chest for years I'm happy for her that she did it
It is the least of her albums so far but it was indeed therapeutic for her.
I agree that the next album should be solid. I'm excited for that.

Quote from: Rxxf on August 16, 2020, 12:32:32 PM

What's your perspective babe?
I didn't mind her singing low on this album. The reason her voice is probably in perfect shape is because she's been singing in her sweet spot. She's 41 years old...if she wants to sing another 40 years, she doesn't need to "push." I don't feel she has to prove she can sing high because she's already done that. I actually prefer her singing in the b7 range. Each time she uses the lower part of her range I literally get CHILLS.

well said I know she doesn't have to prove nothing but vocally it's just sounds for limitedless
I also agree with Lew about redoing the songs being an issue. I think sitting on them for so long was to their ultimate detriment. That deep, rough vocal was where she was when initially recording these songs, and I would have preferred her to go all in with that and commit to it. Instead we have some light and airy mixes tacked on top of these husky vocals and it gives it an inconsistent feel, for me at least. Probably initially they were solid but she changed the adlibs and backgrounds so much over the years that a lot of them feel fragmented or incomplete. Unconditional Oceans is one of the only ones that feels whole and consistent all the way through to me.

It makes sense that you would like the album
2/11 expressed a full circle of the life experience leaning more to the brighter and loving side of things
b7 dives deep into self worth isses and overcomming hurt
and trying to move forward
so makes sense youd enjoy it

All I know is if I EVER see anybody comparing this to Afrodisiac again, I'm slicing
I listened to that album non-stop on a loop with Southern Hummingbird for over a year str8!!
Do you realize what type of alberm Afrodisiac IS?! :plzstop:
B7 is cute, but let's be honest... the mess could've been a lil cute EP with Say Something and Rather Be
and it's crazy, even tho I LOVE those songs .... I kinda stopped listening to them a week ago.
maybe that's where promotion comes in, cause cute videos may make me press play some more :dead:

I know they hate eachother but ugh to have someone like TC vocal produce. He knows how to layer. Did you guys hear his impression of Borderline?

Ugh
Yeah this ain't touching Afro. For as much as this was touted as her most personal album, Afro has it beat. I mean I Tried, Focus, Should I Go!!!???? Deeply personal without having to say it. It's got some of my fave songs of all time on there :stressed:
Saying that everyone who loves B7 is a blind follower is a ridiculous statement. And if Brandy says B7 is more personal than Afro, then that's what it is. She literally wrote B7 how would the songs on Afro even be more personal? :dead:

I'm happy for those who like the album. I'm responding to being told to hush or that I'm not a true fan if I have issues with the new album.
B7 is fake personal. She's writing about mental illness and using it as metaphors without truly experiencing it. We all know how Bran can put on that fake sincere front, and some of the songs on this album give me that. But that's just my opinion so you can have yours and let me have mine :)

I read the blind follower claim somewhere in this thread, it was directed to whoever wrote that (too lazy to check who it was). of course we can have different opinions, I respect yours too. Don't you think maybe brandy is only now downplaying the mental health part of the album, cause she feels uncomfortable speaking about it? Cause in one interview she definitely did say that she speaks on mental health on B7.

I'm sure that's a possibility. I guess my point is if you're going to use clinical terms like Borderline, Bipolar disorder, schizo, retarded, etc. you need to go ahead and commit to it and own it. It's a copout to say all that stuff and then distance yourself from it immediately after the fact.

no shade, but she also admitted to being bipolar and having other issues
so how would sis really know. Brandy is a
"whatever space I'm in now" type of person
that's why she always shuns her previous works, instead of recognizing and acknowledging the special quality of the music she created in THAT moment.
but I'll let yawl see ... when B8 comes out with a different producer and sound she'll be saying the same mess and yawl will move right along :kii: :kii:

brandy is an artist. She is a perfectionist. She is really critical of herself. We can appreciate her art even if she talks bad about it years later. It's okay.

Luv she can do whatever she wants. My point is it makes the music feel inauthentic. The inconsistency may not bother you but it's something that detracts from the experience for me. Especially since that's been the whole selling point.

Oh you're transracial ?
In Germany I'm most of the time not perceived as being part of the white German population, partially due to my muslim name and darker eyes, hair and beard. I have a partially Pakistani background.
"Without you" on 2/11 vocally slaughters everything on b7. Trust my KEEEN hear is open, an following brandy vocally this wasn't her best. If you wanted more of a different style afrodisiac hands down was the best for that. Focus, necessary, I tried, finally, should I go we're all artistic but still gave vocals. B7 just sound like she didn't want to try to put effort. Hopefully next time around we can actually get a ALBUM!

I'm sorry to hear that. I guess I try to enjoy the music for what it is and try to be empathetic of why she might not take full responsibility for what she wrote about during her press run.

Saying that everyone who loves B7 is a blind follower is a ridiculous statement. And if Brandy says B7 is more personal than Afro, then that's what it is. She literally wrote B7 how would the songs on Afro even be more personal? :dead:
Sorry I'm still trying to find where anyone said this? The thread is only 5 pages so don't editorialize :dead:
I'm happy for those who like the album. I'm responding to being told to hush or that I'm not a true fan if I have issues with the new album.
B7 is fake personal. She's writing about mental illness and using it as metaphors without truly experiencing it. We all know how Bran can put on that fake sincere front, and some of the songs on this album give me that. But that's just my opinion so you can have yours and let me have mine :)
Not 2 of the 3 white ppl on this board arguing lol
I consider myself a person of color nick.
Oh you're transracial ?
In Germany I'm most of the time not perceived as being part of the white German population, partially due to my muslim name and darker eyes, hair and beard. I have a partially Pakistani background.
Oh really. See I always think of you white and twinkish before you started wearing your beard but you're right with your beard I can see ppl thinking that

I read the blind follower claim somewhere in this thread, it was directed to whoever wrote that (too lazy to check who it was). of course we can have different opinions, I respect yours too. Don't you think maybe brandy is only now downplaying the mental health part of the album, cause she feels uncomfortable speaking about it? Cause in one interview she definitely did say that she speaks on mental health on B7.
I'm sure that's a possibility. I guess my point is if you're going to use clinical terms like Borderline, Bipolar disorder, schizo, retarded, etc. you need to go ahead and commit to it and own it. It's a copout to say all that stuff and then distance yourself from it immediately after the fact.
I get your point. she's not perfect though and I've accepted that. actually makes her more relatable in a way.
No one is asking her to be perfect. Just accountable.
is it that serious? she clearly has/ had mental issues like most people, maybe she could be so open about them in her creative process but now she cant in her interviews. I think it makes sense. Sometimes I write something that I know I'd be too scared to put out because of how controversial it would be, so I'm glad she at least put the songs out even if she cant fully stand in her mess now in interviews.
Luv she can do whatever she wants. My point is it makes the music feel inauthentic. The inconsistency may not bother you but it's something that detracts from the experience for me. Especially since that's been the whole selling point.
I'm sorry to hear that. I guess I try to enjoy the music for what it is and try to be empathetic of why she might not take full responsibility for what she wrote about during her press run.
I respect that.
I probably had too high of hopes for this album but things just aren't working for me on this project. I'm glad some people are loving it though. Glad we can respect each other's opinions too.

"Without you" on 2/11 vocally slaughters everything on b7. Trust my KEEEN hear is open, an following brandy vocally this wasn't her best. If you wanted more of a different style afrodisiac hands down was the best for that. Focus, necessary, I tried, finally, should I go we're all artistic but still gave vocals. B7 just sound like she didn't want to try to put effort. Hopefully next time around we can actually get a ALBUM!
not the driest song on 7/11 :kii:
Borderline>7/11>Human

two eleven wasn't my favorite vocal album but vocally she came thru on some songs! An live when she hit that one note " put you downnnn" that low note was so precise!!! Full moon , human an some of her unreleased track are some of her best vocals. An hopefully we can get that brandy.

See I got the opposite from this album. This one feels more authentic than all of her previous. While her usage of mental illness is questionable, I can relate to a lot of what she's singing about.
The album isn't without its flaws. There are several things I wish they had done differently, but there's a lot that I love. I'm all for her continuing in this direction.

vocally she just need to come harder next go around.
If she stays with the same team I don't really see her or them pushing her vocally or quality wise though. And it doesn't seem like she's gonna switch up producers any time soon so we might need to buckle up and prepare for another album or two with camp quality.

It is clear as day to me that Brandy has or has had mental health issues. Especially post the accident and the horrible backlash by the media. I'm guessing at least depression, which would be totally understandable.
B7 vocals >>> Two Eleven. EASILY.
b7 wasn't about vocals tho. It's a vibey album. Same with Afro, even tho I think she did more vocally on b7 than that album too.
I'm honestly not hearing the "no vocal moments" mess. She shat on every song IMO :dead:

The album is definitely flawed, but I feel like it's her most genuine. No Brandy album has ever made me this emotional. Her pain resonates through each song. She really poured her heart out on this album.
Though I struggled in the beginning, I love the unconventional structure of the lyrics and melodies. Like India Arie said it feels very Broadway. I love that the lyrics are so personal. It's like only she and the person the song is about will really get it, but it's still relatable. Of course it's not her best production wise, but Brandy is a true artist so her technique will elevate anything. Contrary to popular opinion I think her and Camper worked well together and I have no problem with him doing b8. They will learn from their mistakes and get better.
The album reminds me so much of Amy Winehouse FRANK album (which is my favorite album ever). I think they are both great (deeply personal) and flawed (not the most polished at some parts) for the same reasons.
Is this her best work? Probably not, depending on how you look at it. But it's definitely my fave album by her.
Well This definetly Proves my point that if you needed this album and your still on your heealing a bit it will hit right for you
for others who are out of that space it just wont

Well i truly hope im not seen as a hater
ive fought for brandy many times when the hate train was forming
im simply saying the album is great but that its therapy for ppul who need it the most for others they may not need that therapy and are taking it at face value
also everyone knows how much i love well recorded and mixed tracks so thats a universal theme for me
im not hating at all

B7 vocals >>> Two Eleven. EASILY.
b7 wasn't about vocals tho. It's a vibey album. Same with Afro, even tho I think she did more vocally on b7 than that album too.
I'm honestly not hearing the "no vocal moments" mess. She shat on every song IMO :dead:
Its standard brandy
211 her vocals were in a sweet spot
the tone on do you know
was the same tone she tried to go for on borderline and no tomorrow but she honestly failed and tried to make up for it this new baby talk trend because she wasnt able to tap into that sweet spot where she sounds really young and innocent
and the no tomorrow chourus she tried to tap into that same tone as scared of beautiful again it comes accross as forced
I chalk this up to just changes in vocals over the years
and lets not mention how her diction and clarity has declined since then
you can hate 211 all day but she was primed during that era

Saying that everyone who loves B7 is a blind follower is a ridiculous statement. And if Brandy says B7 is more personal than Afro, then that's what it is. She literally wrote B7 how would the songs on Afro even be more personal? :dead:
B7 is fake personal. She's writing about mental illness and using it as metaphors without truly experiencing it. We all know how Bran can put on that fake sincere front, and some of the songs on this album give me that. But that's just my opinion so you can have yours and let me have mine :)
See I got the opposite from this album. This one feels more authentic than all of her previous. While her usage of mental illness is questionable, I can relate to a lot of what she's singing about.
The album isn't without its flaws. There are several things I wish they had done differently, but there's a lot that I love. I'm all for her continuing in this direction.
Yup. Afrodisiac was LITERALLY about a fake marriage :dead:
This is more authentic and sorry but brandy is weird and very unstable imo. So yea, This material FITS

two eleven was okay vocally!!! With two eleven just sounds like brandy put a little more effort in the vocals an background. Brandy just need to take vocal lesson maybe with a female instructor too get back in shape. I just don't want too hear down the line that this wasn't her best work cause she good at saying that.
I'm sorry but 2/11 is kinda SHIT to me. It's so clear it wasn't HER. I always hated that Chris Brown mess
Quote from: Bigmacthawoppa on August 16, 2020, 10:27:41 AM
It's near impossible to live up to the hype/expectations after an 8 year break.
One of my main issues with the album is that it doesn't, (in my opinion) seem cutting edge or changing the game. The R&B girls have been doing this Lo-Fi beats, stream of consciousness, lack of structure song production for years now. Obviously Bran is gonna put her spin on it, but the way she's presenting these songs (other than harmonies) is nothing new or revolutionary to the genre. And I'm actually surprised to see so many people on here going up for it when I know that was a huge gripe from a lot of y'all about these new "can't write a bridge" girls :dead:
Also, I'm let down by the material. After these years of teasing about this being her most personal mess yet, it still seems rather detached. Co-opting mental illnesses as metaphors for relationships when you haven't truly lived with that diagnosis is a bit messy, to say the least. It bothers me how quickly she separated herself from the songs in interviews, saying she wasn't bipolar or borderline but relationships have made her feel like that :dead: It all feels a bit disingenuous.
Usually I can get past songs or content I don't like because her voice saves the day. I've always felt her voice can make the shittiest song good, and there's always some inflection that gets me in my feelings, even if it's a song that I don't like. On B7 her voice feels very gruff, and like she's deliberately trying not to sound technically proficient. There's no vocal moment I rewind over and over like on all her other albums. She sounds like she did on FR and B&P on a lot of this album.
It's helped me to listen to this album as if it were coming from another artist. I was less critical, and able to enjoy it more. I definitely do not understand how people are already putting this above Afro and Full Moon on their lists, but to each their own. I think she should have released SAML, UO, LD, Borderline, NT, SS, and BB as the EP 4 years ago when they first started working on this. It doesn't really work as a full album for me and def feels cobbled together on the back end.
I think she will benefit from a shorter break between albums next time as well. I know she's been sitting on this music for years, and that's probably part of the reason it doesn't feel very of the moment. But I get she needed to get this out of her system and move on.
wow wow Yes lots of great points here
I sort of understanding brandys process once you finish a song the excitement of it all will have you flying it on shelves
but you need to sit and let it marinate and in essence get over it before you decide to release it and i think it took her quite a while to sit with them untill it was like one big shit she needed to take
reminds me of jojo when she was crafting a new album every 8 months
all i want is everything
to jumping trains
and it never getting released :kii:
but yeah its brandys vocals that pull the weight here
and brandy cannot seem to write a second verse her second verses sound like bridges lol :kii:

211 wasnt crafted to be a vocals album
but she sure brought the vocals and they sounded lush and congruent
human was more vocal driven and she has great vocals on that but look what happened with that
so its not even about vocals anymore really
melody
vocals
replay value
knock lol
Quote from: Bigmacthawoppa on August 16, 2020, 02:59:40 PM
I also agree with Lew about redoing the songs being an issue. I think sitting on them for so long was to their ultimate detriment. That deep, rough vocal was where she was when initially recording these songs, and I would have preferred her to go all in with that and commit to it. Instead we have some light and airy mixes tacked on top of these husky vocals and it gives it an inconsistent feel, for me at least. Probably initially they were solid but she changed the adlibs and backgrounds so much over the years that a lot of them feel fragmented or incomplete. Unconditional Oceans is one of the only ones that feels whole and consistent all the way through to me.
yep i totally agree

The album is definitely flawed, but I feel like it's her most genuine. No Brandy album has ever made me this emotional. Her pain resonates through each song. She really poured her heart out on this album.
Though I struggled in the beginning, I love the unconventional structure of the lyrics and melodies. Like India Arie said it feels very Broadway. I love that the lyrics are so personal. It's like only she and the person the song is about will really get it, but it's still relatable. Of course it's not her best production wise, but Brandy is a true artist so her technique will elevate anything. Contrary to popular opinion I think her and Camper worked well together and I have no problem with him doing b8. They will learn from their mistakes and get better.
The album reminds me so much of Amy Winehouse FRANK album (which is my favorite album ever). I think they are both great (deeply personal) and flawed (not the most polished at some parts) for the same reasons.
Is this her best work? Probably not, depending on how you look at it. But it's definitely my fave album by her.
Well This definetly Proves my point that if you needed this album and your still on your heealing a bit it will hit right for you
for others who are out of that space it just wont
I love you but you're assuming things and generalizing. It sounds sort of judgy aswell, as though you're above everyone and Brandy because you've ,,healed" Please!

only if you view being healed as better than which it isnt
it just explains why the album would speak to you more than it would someone who has overcome these issues
just like when your in love and all the songs make sense
or when your on a break up and the girl power anthems hit better
or if ya man is faithfull monicas sideline ho wont hit so
my point is its less about brandy and more about where you are which will indicate how well the album is for you
and alot of the people that are finding it underwhelming is because it simply doesnt speak to them at this point in time
not because the music is bad
its true
and if the album had more universal themes it would be different
Screaming @ this being the biggest Brandy thread in days. Of course
Yh I'm confused as to why this is 9 pages :uhh: :dead:
I think I said I don't blindly stan in a different thread but it was a personal response to some people saying we should respect the art. And if you don't love it you don't support Bran and her journey. You were never really a fan. But I have been overdosing on Afro and it is so important to have that music in my life. It just doesn't get old :stressed:

Definitely
who would want to pretend to have a mental illness ? Brandy clearly wasn't well many times throughout the past 8 years.
"Fake personal"!
Just shut up.
Wait are people really doubting that Brandy has mental health issues?
yall....
She denounced being Borderline or Bipolar in one of her interviews. I'm saying it's inauthentic to use those terms as metaphors for her relationships if she hasn't lived with the diagnosis. Many people struggle with depression or mental stability. It is not the same as having a clinically diagnosed disorder.

B7 vocals >>> Two Eleven. EASILY.
b7 wasn%u2019t about vocals tho. It%u2019s a vibey album. Same with Afro, even tho I think she did more vocally on b7 than that album too.
I%u2019m honestly not hearing the %u201Cno vocal moments%u201D mess. She shat on every song IMO :dead:
But it's the quality of the vocals that are why we love Bran right? Just cuz you're hootin and hollerin all over the place doesn't mean it sounds good :dead:
I have no issues with the quality of her vocals on b7.
U a Monica fan?
:plzstop:
Absolutely NOT.
I%u2019m a fan of some of her songs but I%u2019ve never liked her voice. You cannot possibly be comparing the vocals on b7 to anything Monica related :uhh:
Yeah some of these songs, like I Am Retarded and Bye Bipolar give me a Monica vocal downnnee. Sounds sloppy and all over the place. Now I don't hate mons and I actually have a couple of her albers but there's a time and a place for that and it ain't on a Brandy record
:hmph:
Brandy is actually on key...I won%u2019t tolerate this comparison
:hmph:
Lmao well the put ur foot down then king :plzstop:
Maybe that's taking it a bit tew far but I definitely have had a flash or two of mons when listening to this and I didn't like it

you didnt have to click on it
if you truly love the album and its the best
why would this even affect you ?
why the need to silence opposing reviews
dont you have an album to praise?
the real ki is the mirror of truth we always want to go away :19k:
Yea, I most definitely use Two Eleven more vocally. It by far feels so much cleaner and smoother. Just my preference and opinion.
I appreciate and really dig the harmonies and arrangements, but B7 is not really giving me "vocals". Some moments even feel sloppy...
I just kinda wanna revisit this convo in another 2 or 3 years. I feel like everyone LIVED for Two Eleven when it first came out.... now no one uses?
d
It's just weird to me. But yea, B7 is cool, but far from her best imo.

I'm sorry I love this album lol
I feel like she went into it with a lot less pressure so she was able to be more creative
The album is definitely flawed, but I feel like it's her most genuine. No Brandy album has ever made me this emotional. Her pain resonates through each song. She really poured her heart out on this album.
Though I struggled in the beginning, I love the unconventional structure of the lyrics and melodies. Like India Arie said it feels very Broadway. I love that the lyrics are so personal. It's like only she and the person the song is about will really get it, but it's still relatable. Of course it's not her best production wise, but Brandy is a true artist so her technique will elevate anything. Contrary to popular opinion I think her and Camper worked well together and I have no problem with him doing b8. They will learn from their mistakes and get better.
The album reminds me so much of Amy Winehouse FRANK album (which is my favorite album ever). I think they are both great (deeply personal) and flawed (not the most polished at some parts) for the same reasons.
Is this her best work? Probably not, depending on how you look at it. But it's definitely my fave album by her.
Well This definetly Proves my point that if you needed this album and your still on your heealing a bit it will hit right for you
for others who are out of that space it just wont

Dont pride yourselves on being more mature or non-messy either if all you're going to do is have these passive aggressive jabs about how someone else feels about a project. Address it head on or move out the damn way.
You niggas aren't the arbiters of how anyone should feel about an artist and their art. Especially ppl who have been hardcore fans for decades now. In a damn thread tryna gang up on ppl who spent hella money, time, and energy supporting Brandy for most of their lives simply because they dont agree with your perspective, the fuck :uhh:

She said she really was well and everything was perfectly fine? That's what she said? The fake personal comment was stupid. PERIOD :dead:
I don't need brandy to tell me she was fckn mental over the yrs. That was conversation here long before this album. If u don't know that then u aren't a fan anyway. Just say u don't like the album but THAT comment was stupid
And Afrodisiac is my FAVORITE album but between the title track, turn it up, sadiddy, come as u are, etc. B7>>>>>>>
So yeah
B7 is one her BEST and most authentic bodies of work to not only Bran, but many listeners.

This is much different than HUMAN, what are y'all listening to? This is one of her best best albums as a collective and storytelling but each album has its own strengths and weaknesses.

its not the albums are not the same but both albums thematically both represent an introspective look in to the human condition
so
its definetly her version of human
which was also poorly executed but with better production
ack
yeah B7>>

I am sorry you are upset by this and I am sure there will be lots of great and objective reviews and in and of itself it is a solid effort
the album is simply entirely to somber and down and out for my life right now id rather have more upbeat soundscapes and themes
but no worries
it will be okay

To each their own. She sounds rough and ragged on a lot of these songs to me. Typically her vocals save a song for me but here they actually made things worse. It might be a combination of the mix being rough too but her tone sounds very brassy/steely on a lot of these tracks and not light and warm as I'm typically accustomed to. Again, it's just my opinion, and it all comes down to preference. I know a lot of people will disagree but for me this album vocally is her most sloppy and unrefined, next to NSN.

Lol I understand an opinion, but some of y'all say things as if they're concrete facts. This album seemed necessary for Brandy and it's one of her best IMO. Once I really dug into the lyrics...:stressed:

I thought I told you to shut up a few posts ago especially when you have NO idea what you're talking about. I've known Lew for 20 years or so and our feud goes back many years. He's said many things over the years to attack me and actually I'm being nice. Mind your own goddamn business white trailer park trash and stay outta black folk business.

she sounds tired lol........keep drawing the line this just wasn't her best vocal album. Shit even " I tried" had better vocals than this entire album. I just take her vocals seriously cause I know what brandy can do! An b7 is not close to what she can bring to the table.
I think the vocals were intentional to give that dreary effect: it works for me. Sorry y'all don't like ..I didn't either at first lolz
well she must be taking cues from Syrai with this lazy vocal mess
the way she drained the life and passion out of saving all my love
to call herself cooing on the track
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9fpiXUDw5M
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9fpiXUDw5M)now shes barely even fucking audible on the album track fucking mumbling and moaning
and how she sounds like she recorded no tomorrow in 3 minutes rushing thru the vocals
lost alot of magic from the original
or how her layering can sometimes just be insecurity more than creativity
