Man oh Man...
The album really feels like a dive into BRANDY. In the most intimate of ways. There's so many moods and spaces she created with B7. Its a lot to take in at once tbh! Her vocals are so multidimensional , that it really takes a few listens to really PEEL back all that's happening on the album .
Baybeeeeee...! SCHIZOdy really pulled all the gorls out for the album: BRocka, Baby Bran, UnreleasedBran, HumanDy, Bran Nu sbdddddb ack!
But I love the journey she takes us on. This album is ART. She really threw the rule book out for what it takes to create a "song". A lot of innovation on this; as always with Queen. I love that this album is a true, independent and authentic feel of Brandy. That alone makes it timeless. B7 indeed.
Although the album lacks a bit of a "traditional" commercial feel to it; IMO— I still think she has a few songs on the album that could be huge singles for her, and are signature:
Borderline is a damn smash. This record is timeless to me
My God; this might be my fav mess atm
Rather Be is an instant Urban AC smash ; it's such a beautiful record. So soothing and groovy.
Say Something is amaaaaazing ; I could see this being a single too
I Am More is siiiiiiiiiickening ; definitely should be a single
I really LOVE this album ; just off three run-throughs.
And Baby Mama and Love Again still fit beautifully on B7.
Unconditional Oceans may be another fav of mine too; it's the Donkey Kong KNOCK, for me..!
Right now; The ones that really LASHED me :
Unconditional Oceans
Rather Be
Lucid Dreams
Borderline
Say Something
I Am More
Bye BiPolar
I particularly love how beautiful Bran and Syrai sound on High Heels— They sound so sick together
Brandy should be so proud . This album is brave, vulnerable , unique , risky , and of course a vocal masterpiece. The way she gave us just about every flavor and layer of her voice on this..unreal!
So fulfilled as a fan!
I'm falling deeper and deeper in love with each listen
I haven't even seen the video yet...
