Not brandy not having an ear and needing to have the people she literally BIRTHED do her album.
Man I tell you!!!
Fickle fickle fickle
This the same girl who released full
Moon , Afro, nsn
And a team of competent talented people.
Agree with L0NZ!!!!!!!!
I'd also add that the same people telling folks to stop complaining and praising Afro are quick to forget that that album was SUPPOSED to come out Summer 2003 and was mainly produced by Robert Smith. Atlantic wasn't feeling the direction of that album and told her ass to get back in the studio. A year later, Summer 2004 we were blessed with her most critically acclaimed album to date, "Afrodisiac." If I'm not mistaken, something similar happened between during the time between her debut album and when Paris Davis, her A&R at Atlantic, paired her with Rodney for "Never Say Never."
I love Brandy to pieces as much as everyone else, but let's not forget it "takes a village....we don't do it all by ourselves" #herwordsnotmine Also, just because someone is a fan doesn't mean we have to love everything she does. Art is meant to be consumer, appreciated, and critiqued.
What?
The album that was supposed to come in 2003 was named B-Rocka and was executive produced by Robert Smith. Their personal mess fucked everything up and Ghan decided to work with Timbaland instead. Robert and Ghan were working at this time on Kiley Dean's project and that's how she saw the potential in Timbaland who was working with Dean as well (ie Escape, Brandy made a cameo in Kiley's first single video, and was involved in the writing process with her husband)
The only mess Atlantic did is MESS the Afrodisiac era cause they kinda forced Kanye on this project. Black Pepper was supporsed to be the first single and Atlantic used TAOL cause KanYe West was on it and he was this new "popular" rapper.
Ghan and Timbaland made it VERY clear they did not want TAOL as a first single but Afrodisiac.
And that's why she said many time she does not care for TAOL.
And thats why she left Atlantic in 05.
gfgffgf
Stop with the mess. Like every other artist, she needs a team of songwriters and such, but Brandy created her sound and has always been heavily involved in its creation working with different producers.
