Quote from: Harlem on November 14, 2024, 10:30:22 PMHonestly, 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
This is my entire point. Usher's career completely rebounded after his Tiny Desk performance. Monica did hers within a week or so of his but did hers from home
. Like girl, the most important thing about tiny desk is being at tiny desk. People disconnect with it when its filmed at other locations. These small misteps really hurt them as artists.
Brandy has literally birthed this new generation of singers. Brandy would do millions of views if she just covered some of their songs. Imagine her covering Coco Jones, Halle, or Summer Walker. Aretha Franklin covered everyone from Adele, to Destiny's Child to Mariah's "Touch My Body".
It seems like these artists like Brandy, Monica, Toni and etc. want to be relevant today but they still move like its 1998.
