I know I made this thread about Borderline but Unconditional Oceans gives me the same vibe in terms of interpreting her mindset/the sonic feel through her vocals. There's this shaky affectation she does with her vibrato throughout the song that just contributes to the entire feel as a whole. It's especially noticeable during the "where we gooooin? we divin in the oooooocean" and "the storrrrm insiiiiide" portions of the chorus.

!!!! You're giving me chills!
And the way her tone almost sounds as if it's under a thin layer of water!

:plzstop:

I'm sure Brandy doesn't even realize she did all of that... She said so herself she is not that deep or think that hard about stuff

I don't think she realize it in the sense of how genius it is. To her it's just a part of telling the story in the song, a part of crafting a great song but no Bran what you are doing vocally is GENIUS! No one else is doing it. Yes the girls stack and run but who is MANIPULATING their voice and tone the way she is and her PLACEMENT....

Yesssss the way the song has multiple personalities!
It really feels like 3 different mindstates of Brandy (like in the video) are on the record!
I hoped everyone peeps how it's 3 verses (instead of the typical 2) and THEN a bridge.
The entire fabric of this song is genius. The way some of her vocals cut in and out of each other. NOT JUST LAYERED on top or under, like literally cutting into each other as to interrupt... Like....

And there's no right or wrong way to interpret a song, as the consumer and listener

Brandy gave us options. You can take it how you want, however it may grab you and i LOVE that.

!!!!

b7 is very much like that
