Quote from: Young on November 14, 2024, 12:32:38 PMThe way yawl describe my Queens is as if they've been under a rock and pop out every 10 years like Sade.  :dead:


In the Last 4 Years From Brandy we've gotten 2 full length albums, a slew of collaborations and original music from TV shows, has been in 3 movies and a television series.

And that's all in the midst of a health scare back in 2022.

Monica has been independently releasing singles and Videos, has a slew of collaborations as well, has been rebranding herself on Social Media while looking better than ever, touring the nation non stop at the detriment of her own voice, Had a VH1 series that ran for 2 seasons, a Podcast, and more.

This is all while coming off the heels of divorce, dealing with personal family losses, vocal and bunion surgery, and personal health issues as well.


MANY from their day cannot say they are as booked as these Queens. And to be Grammy nominated in 2024 is really a slay. A testament to their timelessness.

The music industry is just not what it use to be. But, To be where they are 30 years later is simply amazing.


Oh &: 'Open Roads' and 'MDA' coming SOON
THIS!

People just hold them to Beyonces standards, numbers, and broken records.
I could care less about all of that. As long as they stay active as they have been, I'm satisfied.

In the last 10 years, Brandy Norwood has been active in music, television, and Broadway:

Music
Released her seventh studio album, B7, in 2020. The album's lead single was "Baby Mama" featuring Chance The Rapper. In 2023, she released her eighth studio album, Christmas with Brandy. The album's lead single was "Christmas Party for Two".

Television/Movies
Appeared on the eleventh season of Dancing with the Stars. She also starred in the reality series Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business from 2010–2011, and was a series regular in the BET series The Game in 2012. She also co-executive produced the TV series Zoe Ever After in 2016 and Queen in October 19, 2021–February 15, 2022. Descendants: The Rise of Red 2024. The Front Room 2024

Broadway
Made her Broadway debut in 2015 as Roxie Hart in the musical Chicago. She also reprised her role as Cinderella in the Disney Descendants sequel The Pocketwatch.

This girl has been doing something every year. Yall are just not satisfied. Also, unfortunately, when it comes to black women in the entertainment business, the industry refuses to have more than on or two of then dominating at once. That's just how it is.

Monica is a bit more scattered but at least she has been actively promising
the same album every year. She even upped it with a 2 album release.  :dead:

Monica's "Friends" did well on YouTube (25 million views) but she just abandoned the song. She did one social media post - a lazy lip synch to her own song  :dead: . These younger girls like Coco Jones, do challenges, they sing the songs on live, cover other songs live and keep themselves relevant. They are constantly putting out music content and while Monica takes photos.

I just wonder why singers like Monica don't use social media to promote themselves as musical acts. Karen Clark Sheard does a much better job. I just think these 90s singers very disconnected and. I think they are missing an opportunity to really solidify their legacies as musicians.

Honestly, Brandy doesn't need to release another album (just yet at least). What it comes down to is that she doesn't bank on her cult following.

If she focused on the missed opportunities that fans are still pissed and crave for like the 'Full Moon' & 'Afrodisiac', shit even 'Two Eleven' eras she'll have a little something with that. Ppl love Brandy b-sides and deep cuts but she doesn't rely on it as much as she should and that's problem #1

Also, she doesn't bank on the mega success of 'Never Say Never' as it should have her touring alone like Lauryn does with Miseducation. The 20th & 25th anniversaries of NSN were missed opps. BET should've had specials and all of the above but it takes a good team to recognize all of it

2 albums in over a decade...


ReVonIsMine

Brandy really is ok yall. She is literally a part of all the SINGERS conversations in interviews.
Her legacy is absolutely solidified.

Amazing

Should a Monica be opening for Nicki Minaj?

It's kinda sad to me  :'(

Brandy has been active in the last decade


I think the problem is she's not consistent in making the music we actually want to hear as fans and the visibility of the music isn't consistent...we get it in pieces. The Christmas With Brandy album is great...why isn't she re-releasing it or at least doing a new promo run to make it more known...why even submit it for a Grammy consideration if you had no plan to center a campaign around it

Most of her time is doing films and movies we have no real interest in. If Brandy wasn't in Queens, The Front Room, etc I would never care to watch.

It's great that Brandy is multi-faceted. All of the acting stuff she has going on is good for her. I just don't care much about it tbh.

I'm here for the music. I don't even need a roll out. Just drop the mess on Apple Mu' and let me get my life.
