I really want answers because it's so weird. It's not a hard thing to do.

Brandy has used the "I don't understand social media" excuse before, but I call bullshit. There was a time when she was active and used humor amongst other things for engagement. Why not acknowledge your legacy?  :shannonsmissing:

She's never really talked about this album, I think it would be cool.

Brandy won't ever fully accept & discuss albums 4-7.

She doesn't have that Alicia Keys & Mariah in her to recognize that new generations come up so as an artist pushing your full body of work extends your legacy.

The OGs get this too. That is why Dionne, Chaka & many others are reaching a new generation.

Focus & Necessary deserve their time to shine.
Come as you are best alone would appeal now.

It's really annoying af tbh. This is my favorite album of hers and what actually made me a stan. A simple post at minimum would've been cute, she acknowledged it for the 18th anni...

isn't she beefing with Timbaland?
I didn't know that. For what?

I don't know. I thought she's always on and off beefing with timbo & rodney. maybe im wrong.


I think you're right remember when he  snipped her out of that one photo ghhhhhhjnndsdcv

Didn't Timbaland post during the b7 drop, highlighting her video of recording Borderline?!

I hear this all the time, why? What was it that made it official.  I had the opposite reaction being fan since her debut I was not feeling this sound in the beginning.  I hated the videos and her look. It took awhile before I started to enjoy the album.

Yes!  And was under her post trying to get the studio with her before the album dropped.

For me, it was the switch-up of working with hotter producers like Timbaland, Ye, & Organized Noise. She was finally giving more "organic, raw, hot, mature" album vibes. Brandy has always been so safe and comfortable until that era and I lived! I loved TAOL when it dropped it was so on point with the new wave of Ye shit at that time. The video/making the video was everything

And honestly, her topics were deeper and her voice sounded more rich and raspy. Like I wish I could go back and listen to WIS2U, I Tried, WYWB, Focus, Come As You Are, Finally, and Should I Go for the first time... I was stannin and she sampled Coldplay?! You couldn't tell me she wasn't bout to have a Confessions moment too that year. But the rollout post-TAOL was disappointing. She should've given dark and moody down. And she needed to keep that tig ol bitties baby weight she had at the 02 VMAs if she wanted to give "sexy"

"I Tried" should've had a theatrical Hype Williams video and ran TRL/106 countdowns on some Ashanti Rain On Me shit. She needed a solidified bop as "Come As U Are" (maybe with a 50 or Lloyd Banks feature) for Hot 97 and Urban Radios to eat up during the summer. Put out "Where You Wanna Be" for the fall for some smooth vibes especially with Ye being on fire. So many missed opportunities but she did bring in a new wave of fans and respect especially those that were missing that Aaliyah-esque sound with the R&B girls

You're right. I agree with all of this. Love the ideas about the features and the single choices. I felt the same way.

I feel much more different about TAOL today. Not that I ever hated it, it just didn't scream first single to me that was my issue with it.

I definitely agree about her weight too! And I wish she toured more around this time, it would have helped with capturing her new growing audience.

I just read a thread on X about how she transitioned into this era. And people claim she didn't do a good job compared to her peers, I disagree it was just too low key.

I think it wasjust awkward with her image overall. Brandy was sexy ass hell after her pregnancy she should've kept that weight in that thickness similar to how Keke is doing it today. The Vibe and King cover would've ate down with that weight. I felt she was too skinny tryna give "sex" and it ain't click with us

Also - Laurie Ann wasn't the best choregrapher for her at the time. She needed Fatima someone who she worked with in the past but had experience in making Timbaland songs come to life with dance. And she needed sexy female dancers to back her up too
