could have been such a watershed moment in Brandy's career but was so poorly managed
single choices (taol? Rlly?)
hot tracks left off the final album
image/styling (Kim k belonged somewhere in a dumpster tbqfh)
ugh
I love WS2U but it would have only worked with a hotter first single taking off
and how did they leave gems off this album
like honey and adios
and why did they dress her in those rags and faux sexy attire.. bran was sexy just looking natural and exotic. Why didn't they work with that??
fuming here
and Tim didn't give a legit HIT like he did with other artists after working on Afro
:unbothered:
No lie....I revisited the album and she shat tbh
For a while, b7 was in my top 3 but Afro said HOLD TF UP and took up that last spot, rightfully so.
Everything about that era felt inauthentic BUT the music. I agree...they just made some terrible choices.
Two Eleven could've also been a moment for Bran. The music wasn't as great as Afro, but they messed up the second single. The image and performances were definitely there tho. She could've had a solid 3 or 4 hits if they played it right.

TAOL was played everywhere from what I remember. People young and old were 2-stepping to it. I still like the song and moments from the video.
There were a number of noteworthy potential singles though. Afrodisac as an international single?? I guess, but that video was a little cringey. Probably attributed to why I didn't care for the song.
ppl hate on the afro video but i loved it ... i love seeing bran dance and afro the single was a hit internationally.
Not making Afrodisiac an american single was a mistake
she wind up performing it here anyway
but definitely her more eclectic album most of the tracks werent of the times perse so
the whole era was a toss up no safe picks
shoulda beeen 5 singles
this 2 single formula is so annoying AND DATED

Lol what? That makes no sense. But to answer your question, yes I get stamps in my passport babes.
Apparently, you only getting miles on your Nissan Altima. Step owt boo!
TAOL never got played on the radio ONCE here. Afrodisiac was the first Brandy era where I never heard her on the radio..... not even WIS2U with Usher.
PID was EVERYWHERE. I even heard Right Here on pop radio a few times.
Nodding Off should've been the lead single... and on the fucking album. :uhh: It's catchy, it's radio friendly, and it kinda follows in the steps of What About Us. Where You Wanna Be should've and would've been the PERFECT 2nd/follow up single too. And THEN TAOL as the 3rd single.
Also, y'all think Afrodisiac would've been a hit in the states?

well i guess it depends on where you are. i heard it on radio here. it was a top 40 song on the hot 100. So maybe you just missed it babes. i heard every lead single on the radio except baby moms but that doesnt mean it wasnt played
so pissed rn
bout to go drag some Atlantic execs on Twitter
I want justice
MUVA has been done so wrong by herself, the record labels, music execs and producers chile. TAOL is a bop to me. Bran is more of an album girl, she doesn't make big monumental/blockbuster HITS but I want her to make another HITTTTTTTTTT that sticks like GRITS.
TAOL was a good single imo.
I think the ball dropped with WIS2U.
Afrodisiac the song would've worked back in 04 for sure... when you think about Yeah & Milkshake being popular then, Afro could've fit right in too, it only needed the right video & choreo...
TAOL was good though, but I Tried or WYWB should've been the follow up not WIS2U
It's so cray how TAOL and WIS2U aged the best but they weren't the best singles at that time, especially the latter.

not sure if they where single material tho
They were both good ass singles.
I dont see why yall always say I Tried. Yall think it would have given a Cry Me A River moment just because its a dramatic Timbaland beat? N. She was no Justin Timberlake fresh off some NSync slay. I could not even see Urban catching on to that, so that leaves the TRL crowd to latch on? Im doubting that. Its an amazing song but it shouldnt have been a single over TAOL OR WIS2U

Honestly, that's something I've always said in the past.... there's nothing on Afrodisiac that I strongly feel wouldve been a hit. :dead:
Everything either sounds cheap or just simply not radio friendly. Nodding Off n Where You Wanna Be are the only messes I could potentially see doing something. I never used WIS2U until RECENT years. It's easily one of my favs from the era now.

I agree that the album was not radio-friendly but TAOL hook was VERY uneventful. The clip of the verse got me hyped and I was so disappointed when I listened to the full song. :uhh:
"Where U Wanna Be" had a better melody but I don't think it was first single material either.
I'm not sure which song could have saved the album sales-wise but I wish they released the better tracks as the album was not radio-friendly anyway.
Afro and I Tried should've immediately followed TAOL as the follow-up singles

Yea, nothing was gonna save this album tbh.
Afrodisiac could've been the first single just given the time period, if Milkshake and Yeah thrived in '04, Afro w/ the right push & video could've did a little something I believe
Yea. Afrodisiac was so fresh at the time and would've slayed with a killer visuals.

None of the songs on Afro was gonna be a hit. Brandy kinda struggled to have that bona-fide hit record after NSN. The 1st time I hrd a song I knew would smash after NSN was PID. Afrodisiac's best choice for 1st single was Afrodisiac. It was catchy and infectious. Would've worked well with the 106 and TRL crowd.

I know a lot of girls are side-eying but it's true though! This time period had a lot of "corny" uptempo singles that started the era up and Afrodisiac fit right in that batch. With the right video, choreo & image, Brandy could've sold that shit.
If not, WIS2U could've led but it needed a way bigger video to sell it

I remember TAOL was very popular here
The music video on tv was on repeat
I have always loved that song so muchh
Was it more popular in Europe somehow?
i think the video for Afro was just not a good look
and the video for Who is she 2 u didn't really have an impact somehow
TOAL was the only single on Afro IMO. It was on the radio regularly where I'm from and the video was def in rotation.
Her biggest hiccup with Afro was not solidifying WIS2U w/ Usher. The remix should've been the official 2nd single.
Also her image was so forced and she never looked confident. That whole era I remember Brandy looking pretty but seeming like a fish out of water. The videos during that era read the same way to me.

I think stronger visuals would have helped too, if anything this should have been the era where Brandy was giving edgy/alternative not sex kitten.
I remember the first time I heard Afrodisiac. The production and the beat were hot but I thought the chorus was kind of weak to me. Of course the song grew on me.
And I know everyone here hates Sadiddy but that was my favorite song after I previewed the album at the CD store. :dead:
TAOL was the wrong first single for the fact alone that it didn't represent the album sonically at all. It HAD to be a Timbo song.

Two Eleven was the "sex kitten" era in my eyes. It was very natural feeling and unforced. Just very grown up and sexy. I agree that Afro should've been her "edgy" era.

Afrodisiac & WIS2U videos needed way stronger visuals for sure and she needed to keep the baby weight to sell it too... lookin at that Stunt 101 thread/video reminded me how I was a bit shocked (in a good way) to see her grown & sexy but then looking at the Afro era i'm like wtf happened, she dropped so much weight that some of the looks were forced.
Laurie Ann Gibson didn't really know how to create choreo for Brandy either, Bran should've booked Fatima Robinson especially to hit the Timbo singles

honestly... I don't think this era would've been a "hit" regardless. The music was great but the aesthetic of the era lost any type of individuality that Brandy had built in the 3 eras prior. She became a Beyonce/Ashanti hybrid and that's not what the girls wanted from Brandy.
Not to mention Crunk + Crunk n B was what was slaying the girls that year
In a perfect world, Brandy would've done another album with Timbaland when he was slaying in 06 and 07. She could've come back from Afro flopping.
Atheosssss, la bocaaaaa
do u . Whateva. Ayyy deee ooooos! ✌🏾💃🏾
Brandy simply didn't possess enough confidence at that time to execute the Afro era the way it should have hence why her photoshoots, videos, performances, and overall looks were consistently off.

agree, in ws2u she looked very good
I've seen professional outtakes of Afro, shot from the side, and she looked fierce. I think its partly poor angles
so the behind the scene showed some close up views that where HOT
and some side views that also looked much better than the finished video itself
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ze79jwA_BQ
She looked really skinny in WIS2U, especially when she was in the barber chair during the bridge...
The bus scenes were cute though
She was thin but dressed appropriately for her size in WIS2U
The bus scenes she looked cute in. Them barber shop and fence scenes I ain't vouchin for...

PID was EVERYWHERE. I even heard Right Here on pop radio a few times.
Down south, TAOL was played a lot so I was surprised to know that it wasn't that big of a hit.
This whole era was a bit...undercooked

Afrodisiac should have been the lead single all around tho. It would've slayed and the video would've been memorable with TAOL or even WIS2U's budget.

Kelis' "Trick Me"
Blu Cantrell's "Breathe"
Both songs were huge European hits but flopped in the US.
Christina Millian's "Whatever You Want" was a minor sucesss in Europe but flopped in her home country.
Just because "Afrodisiac" did well in Europe doesn't mean it would have acheived the same success in the US.
Afro would've done well in the US had it been the lead single.

It sounded like a hit to me back in the days but so many songs I liked flopped during 2003/2004. Radio stations were getting picky. We'll never know anyway !

Even her "misses" weren't that bad. I think the issue is that "Afrodisiac" deserved consistently cohesive looks/images.
I agree... The TAOL video & promo run looks>>>>>>> she should've kept that consistent all era
her look now fits Afro more than it fits B7
