Cute read. Im ready for B7. 

Having been a stan for the past 25 years, I can say this: I'm kind of tired of reading articles that highlight the past so much 😂 but I understand: the new generation needs to be reminded.

i wish she would've described B7 more in this. 

love the black pepper mention! Remind her that she needs to find it!

QuoteIt is not just turn-of-the-millennium nostalgia. In 2013, shortly after the release of Brandy's sixth album Two Eleven, which featured input from self-confessed stan Frank Ocean, Solange tweeted at white music critics: "Like you really should know about deep Brandy album cuts before you are giving a 'grade' or a 'score' to any R&B artist." It's those deep cuts that keep drawing other modern R&B practitioners to her back catalogue, from Kehlani to Beyoncé proteges Chloe x Halle. Can she hear her influence in R&B now? "Yes ... " she says coyly. "A lot. And it's so flattering."

:ohwow:

QuoteShe laments that the gossip around their friendship meant they only performed the song together once, at the 1998 VMA awards. "For us to be put against each other like that, I didn't think that was funny at all," she says. "We didn't really get a chance to experience what we could have with The Boy Is Mine. The fanbases and the media really threw a wrench in that experience."

:guys:

It was such a last-minute decision that Brandy had already started rehearsing for the video shoot for the Timbaland-produced Black Pepper, a song that didn't make the final tracklisting and has since taken up mythic status. "It definitely exists," she confirms. "I just, erm, don't know where it is."

QuoteWhile in many ways B7, released via her own label, is classic Brandy, off-kilter production anchored by a voice still deep enough to swim in, it also feels like a fresh start.

QuoteFor now, Enya can wait. While in many ways B7, released via her own label, is classic Brandy, off-kilter production anchored by a voice still deep enough to swim in, it also feels like a fresh start. No more placating egos, no more chasing commercial expectations. Having previously had her experiences distilled into other people's words, she is now credited as a co-writer on every song, often alongside her early mentor LaShawn Daniels, who helped turn those burning ambitions into reality. Tragically, Daniels died last September during the making of the album.

"It's a little scary because I had to finish it without him," she says, dabbing away tears. "I just wonder: would he be proud of what I was able to put together?" She takes a breath. "Music is my therapy," she nods, almost to herself. "I don't know what my life would be without it."

B7 is out on 31 July

WOO

:omf: :omf:
