Title: Honest Thoughts on Brandy’s vocals TODAY
Post by: demitri.petty on August 19, 2020, 12:02:26 AM
Looking back at Human today I think it's some of her best vocals. But I think when she started smoking weed it changed her voice (but that happens when you smoke). She has vocals today but they sound more raw as opposed to sounding pure.

Have you heard the song with Ro James? Nothing but purity. It's hilarious to me when y'all try to critique this girls voice.

Yes Plan B is the most recent song that I've heard Brandy with a pure tone

Yeah I think that's the point. Plan B and that song she did w/ Angel were recorded more recently. A lot of the B7 songs were recorded several years ago when she was smoking up and sounding a bit rougher it seems. She even said in that recent interview that she wanted the vocal on Bye Bipolar to reflect the state she was in when she was feeling that way. So grittier, I guess.

Brandy is older. Her voice isn't gonna be exactly the same as 12 years ago. 

Bey, Alicia, & other girls aren't singing as high as they used to either.

Yeah I noticed when she started smoking her breath control dropped immediately
she runs out of breath alot easier these days
Also why almost none of her songs are full lines of lyrics
its all mini vocal comps (which sets her up for failure live most times)
and now we have more raw sounding vocals
smoking definitely contributes to that
but if shes not doing it alot its not going to affect the voice to much
unless she was lightin up everyday for those 8 years :plzstop:
shes just been lazy

she clearly cannot pull off the that innocent tone you hear on
first & love
Do you know
or Talk to me

She feels BABY TALK will achieve it
that speaks to a more grittier vocal iteself

good thing is we dont really need that to enjoy her voice (that tonality being the thing is in her head)

With Brandy, it's typically not about what she can or can no longer do


She's very intentional. If she wanted to give "Human", for the most part she absolutely can.   

Her next project will be something else entirely I'm sure. Look at the difference between Unconditional Oceans and Lucid Dreams, or Borderline

Sounds like 3 different singers in spots :kii:

All singers have vocals in spots they cannot control

Im not accepting everything is intentional

she wasn't able to match alot of her original recordings vocally (in terms of tonality)

if she can magically make her voice do what it wanted at all times
everything would be seamless

but one sounds like a 18 year old and some sounds like 40 year old drunk

she can do everything still the timbre shes not as in control of as we like to pupport or the ability to control it has diminished
age sometimes cant be skirted around

Y'all need to stop...

Brandy can take u back to Human vocally today if she wants to...
she sounds different on every albums she puts out, simply because the vibe of each album is different from the other but u can always find vocals that sounds just like the previous album.

and B7 is clearly the album when u can (vocally) find a piece of all of her vocal eras. (i.e. Bye Bipolar is Human type of vocals 100%) ... some of y'all need to stop... every artist's voice always and constantly evolve as they age. Brandy brandy's one of those whose voice gets even better with time and that's a damn fact. A lotta of artist in their 40s can't even perfectly sing songs from their debut... ch...

oh and y'all need to stop acting like bran smokes weed every damn day or every time she's in the studio. that's not the case. her voice would be gone by now.

oh well then u might not have heard some of the vocals and harmonies on B7 ... i don't know what some of y'all are listening' to cause...

i'm not gon dissect every song on B7 to prove u wrong  (which u are ! sorry! lol) but take a closer listen to her album and u'll see/hear lol

just because the full songs don't sound like her previous work doesn't mean she can't sing like that , there are always elements here and there... plus u havent heard all the unreleased songs that didn't make the cut for the new album.

some her harmonies on the 3rd chorus of SAML are as innocent/pure and airy as her voice on the chorus of 1st & love....  and the "ur love ur love ur love ur love" on the bridge of that song are some of the type of vocals u can also hear on Do You know...

Post by: Annie on August 19, 2020, 07:27:21 AM
I remember interviews where she said some songs were very high for her. When you hear some of these bg vocals on Afro for example you hear she loves to play around with these low notes. Maybe it is just comfortable for her and she has freedom to right her own songs and to sing it how she wants it. I also hear a lot of Human era...but she can probably do everything (Optimistic is not that old right). Let's not forget the computer thought her voice was a robot  :dead: she has a lot of control.

Lyrically I get what Lew is saying, definitely a stream of consciousness sometimes..and raw, unpolished sometimes.. She chose those words about mental disorders, there must definitely be something more to it..but maybe she is not always ready to explain or make a conclusion. Maybe it should be left open for interpretation. I'm curious how we will look back on this era in three years.

like come on now guys...  :uhh: :uhh: :uhh: :uhh: :uhh:

ur example speaks more to the tonality of wish your love away chorus or Put it down chorus
only do you know really eased in to the tone were speaking of and im sure thats just because of where her voice was during that recording

As I said there are times where her vocals are in that sweet spot  where it sounds a bit more natural
BUT SHES DEFINITELY PUSHING AND FORCING THAT TONE THESE DAYS CAUSE ITS UNATURAL TO HER NORMAL VOICE AT THIS POINT

even on the census concert you take a listen to those rerecorded vocals they sounds amazing yes but very forced in terms of trying to re create that tone and sound

the original baby mama her voice sounded gritty

but on the actuall recording her voice was in the sweet spot for the tone yet still didnt give what she was going for

you cant claim on one had that the voice ages but  yet can freely sound like all ages

there is a tradeoff somewhere

Punching in vocals is not indicative of bad breath control. She's always done that and especially on Full Moon. Did she need to quit smoking then? And those songs you mentioned where her tone was "innocent" were more than likely vocally altered in production. I mean Rodney obviously pitched her mess up on Human

And those songs you mentioned where her tone was "innocent" were more than likely vocally altered in production. I mean Rodney obviously pitched her mess up on Human

its not a rodney thing you take the recording of afrodidsiac and compare that to the tone of her live vocals during that era the tone came rather easy
Vocal comps have always been apart of the process
but now she does micro punch ins for NON bG vocals

and the songs she decides to do that on she struggles with live ( i belive its a diminished breath control issue)

but you can look to her live performances to guage the changes in breath control over the years
it comes and goes through depending  weight gain is also a factor too

and bottom line is the voice ages and hers is in great condition
but to sit up here and say she can casually recreate whatever tonality she wants especially with her voice now is absurd

especially given the fact that there are tons of mismatched tones on b7 when she re did parts

i mean its not a real big deal but im a abit tired of ppul saying she controls her tone 100 percent all the time and everything is intentional cause every album her voice has been in a different space and this one is no different but significant time has passed since last  release so

she may not give Brandy era tone (cause she was a child!) but can definitely give FM/AFRO/HUMAN/211 vocals if she wants to !!

Brandy been smoking since forever, stop trying to create something out of nothing. What's wrong with Brandy's voice being more gritty? Why is someone like Jazmine Sullivan praised for her gritty tone but y'all bash Bran over it, always wanting her to sound low, sweet and pretty...ummm NO she has multiple facets to her voice.

Bran is very intentional with her tone and that's clear with the way she produced her vocals on B7. When we say she's intentional, we don't mean that her voice hasn't changed and that there aren't areas that are out of control but y'all know Bran will redo a song 50 times if she feels it isn't right so there has to be a significant amount of intention behind it.

The "baby voice" you speak of is not her tryna sound like NSN Brandy its just her using another part of her voice. I hated the Human era tone at first, but lets not act like Human sounds like young Brandy..all different tones and all different areas. She was even giving more soulful and gritty back in 2013 on that Robert Glasper song...I'm sure if she wanted to sing a song like "Honey" today she could do it.

why would Bran ever voluntarily try to mimic her own voice on previous recordings? :dead:
her voice is her voice and sometimes it sound reminiscent of earlier records but of course it could never sound exactly the same
also, her breath control is top notch to be able to pull off some of the fast staccato singing on like No Tomorrow

There is no definetly about it she can barely give a 211

This is a B7 era vocal were dealing with and you heard that on freedom rings so
she hasn't successfully executed a full moon or afro or human vocal on this album  and thats not a negative
but she clearly tries to go for those but it doesn't sounds smooth on b7 and with daily fluctuations in her voice (normal) trying to redo songs in different sessions shows
indications she should stop trying to force that type of vocal and embrace this new voice
(oddly enough her b7 voice does well for debut brandy )

look at beyonce she not tryin to give no survivor tone she adjusts the music to her new vocal styling

I dont think shes mimicing it cause she honestly cant do that
but  i belive she still wants that tone transparency she once had where she can weave in and out of previous vocal eras
but the b7 voice is saying no mam own your new voice

because now shes giving a lazy vocal to try to capture it
pushing her voice beyond what it used to be easy to do
and sacrificing clarity and diction for these style of vocals

but everything is different now

after almost 10 years that voice isnt doing everything it used to do

which is okay

need her to stop trying to take it there there tho
other areas are suffering behind it

Her voice now >>>

she can do it all

She's always had range, she's just more comfortable letting herself go vocally now
Brandy is not a range singer. She's always been more comfortable in the lower resisters.  the way she's using her voice on this album isn't new. The Afrodisiac album is basically B7 with different producers.  Just because that's the way she sounds on this album doesn't mean she isn't capable. It's the way she sounds on THIS album because that's what she was going for

I have no complains about her voice. In my opinion she sounds great on B7 and also on the live she did a couple of weeks ago. I only said that I hope she quits smoking (in case she smokes) because it's not healthy.

Brandy is older. Her voice isn't gonna be exactly the same as 12 years ago.

Bey, Alicia, & other girls aren't singing as high as they used to either.
And also this.  Why would u be looking for her to sound the same as she did over a decade ago? She still has range tho.  Begging and pleading,  freedom rings,  etc are evidence of that.  But people use their voice differently on different projects.  This is her B7 sound.  If u can't get with it then this just isn't the album 4 u. Sit back and wait for the next one.  Hopefully that suits u better

really! Yes brandy has vocals but in order for her to maintain healthy chords she needs to avoid smoking. I've learn in the industry you always have to growth vocally an what I heard on b7 just wasn't vocally magically. Some of the notes she was hitting shouldn't have been that hard to push out.

I don't have anything rational to offer to this thread because I'm obsessed with Brandy ....and vocally she could no wrong ..almost never...some songs and vocals haven't been the best but I admire her passion and her desire to continue to grow and be a leader in R&B. I see Brandy like a R&B "cool" mom like they said in mean girls. She might even sex it up a bit more with the music too. I just really admire her journey as an artist. Can't wait to see what's next it will be waaaay better than B7..if that's even possible...just a hunch

I think Brandy still has amazing range. Her voice is defiantly not as light and airy as before. But I think that has to due to the fact that after she had Syrai her voice changed which is common with women after they give birth. I think the smoking added some grittiness to her tone. But you have to remember there was a period when Bran was working out HARD. I mean she was boxing and playing tennis like everyday so during that period her breath control was amazing. I mean look at all the 2/11 era performances. Her breath control was on 100. I just think that for a singer like Brandy she has to find that balance of working out and smoking less. I'll never forgot after her show in Oakland she asked my friend is they can get her and Ryan some of that good Oakland weed :kii: :kii: :kii:

right and  i think she  thinks she can do everything she could do before and her voice books her
its very evident

this clip doesn't prove much much proves some things

alot of the older songs were done and practiced with longer vocal comps phsycially shes very comfortable with those
now baby mama is one where she implemented the micrro vocal comps method and and we dont have  her singin full lines from that yet
cant wait to see how border goes live
and she was sitting down so

but i dont think she would smoke much right before a performance anyway
and the re records of those vocals while amazing you can still hear shes not able to replicate anytone like yall say

but okey dokey

I'm sorry but y'all sounded stupid in here.  Brandy has shown she is fully capable, even recently.  So just because she has chosen a sound,  vibe,  style, etc for her album that u don't like, now her ability is in question.  Yea,  really dumb.

Post by: Vonc2002 on August 20, 2020, 06:27:48 PM
And honestly,  more often than not, Brandy isn't a "LET LOOSE" type of singer. She's very vibey. It's about her tone, technique,  choices,  harmonies, what have u. So alot of this range conversation and her not "SINGING" like she's Whitney on every other album besides this one is dumb to me too

Looking back at Human today I think it's some of her best vocals. But I think when she started smoking weed it changed her voice (but that happens when you smoke). She has vocals today but they sound more raw as opposed to sounding pure.

This foolishness.

WTF are some of yall in here talking about? Especially Lew! I shouldn't be shocked though. She sounds better than ever now.

Im talking about

Brandy TRYING to give the warmth, color and depth  of nsn and afro and sometimes human
but  it not sounding as natural and robust as it used to despite the range still being there

Im talking about the changes in her diction and enunciation and deciding to take a lazier vocal approach to often mask  these changes she can no longer execute like she once could

Im talking about the MYTH no longer being true or being less true due to age that she can switch it up anytime all the time because its evident that she cannot  and with her reworking almost this entire album we can clearly hear the spots where tonality was not matched and thats done under the assumption the listener cant tell

how she sounds is irrelevant she ALWAYS SOUNDS GOOD AND HER VOICE IS IN GREAT CONDITION
And i dont think no one would ever say she sounds bad

this is just nitpicking at the end of the day

But im also talking about how shes begun to do micro vocal comps for lead vocals resulting in a difficult transition live
and i belive apart of that is breath control issues either dude to weight gain or smoking

you should not be surprised that i bring these issues up and challenge the ones that want to pretend everything is the same and its just brandys ability in and of itself that results what we hear

no there is alot of changes over this almost damn decade with her voice

thank you

But when sis starting getting all those Bet tributes and sing at the end I was unmoved then she did a song with Fantasia and a cackle down  that this is who everyone calls the Queen of soul.  Brandy voice is fine imo

Ssss I think it's reaching to say her voice is deteriorated  :dead:

She can still give a coo mess out. It's moreso that she chose this raspy, gutteral, slurry vocal for the theme of b7. It's fine not to like it (I admit it's my least favorite album vocally) but I definitely think it was a choice. Her most recent live performance for the census shows she can blow and still have that pleasant tone we love so much.

As much as NSN is her mega album, I always thought it was the album that scarred   her vocal perception to the GP & especially b/c she was going through puberty then too...

I love that this is about how i look and sound

But as someone who struggles with weight issues and as much as i love to sing i know first hand the effects of breath issues and how it looks

Also as someone who was diagnosed with gerd ive suffered alot of vocal changes because of the untreated acid erosion on my vocal cords

So i also know what it looks and sounds like to  try to achieve a previous vocal state with a newer state of vocals and the effort that takes

How i sound is a matter of opinion i dont care for
There are plenty of singers whose voices arent the most pleasing

How i look is a. Matter of opinion i dont care for

And the logical falacy we all have to be luther and whitney to clock brans obvious changes is laughable

Try gain
