I don't think this is true
I know for a fact there were several meetings with epic

She better not sign with Epic, they treat their R&B artists (for example Tamar and Ciara) like trash if you ask me. She deserves a label who would really push her content or stay independent.

Ciara always gets promo with Epic. Considering how big Brandy's name is alone, she would be good there IMO

Epic really ain't too bad. They played a big part in Love and War's success. And even Tamar's new project had 3 music videos before the album even came out. Bran ain't had that since the 90s. As for Ciara, Epic really gave Ci a big budget during the 'Ciara' era. This Jackie era was not as bad. I mean, after all the money they put into the Ciara era and to get back small returns, she's lucky to get what she got from them.

Epic is actually good

Tamar had creative issues with the label this era

They did Ciara right this era. That 19k was her fault

True. And she was too busy doing other things including The Real and that caused the promo for the music to suffer.

What exactly do labels do these days? real question, since I dont really know how the industry works right now.

They provide just the album budget? or they get into promo too?

I guess I see where you all are coming from. They are not too bad I guess, it's just recently Epic has been lacking in the female R&B department for me promotional and push wise. If she were to sign with a major, I would love it to be a Republic or Atlantic honestly, labels that consistently promote their artists well. But hey, whatever the case is new Brandy music is always welcome wherever it's coming from.

Mostly promo and radio adds. Labels are mostly behind consistently putting an artist's name in the public, be it promo stops or consistent radio plays.

that Ciara with plenty of videos thing is true, tho. If that is Epic's work/money, then.... hey, Id like Bran on there, lol.

And if Epic has new executives now, then Im fine with that label again, since its a whole new team.

About Atlantic.... they havent done anything with Jojo this time, and she is young, white and doing pop, so... not sure with Bran going back there :/

I mostly was referring to Republic in terms of their consistent promo for their artists. Their roster obviously lacks a solid female R&B artist, but then again that could be great to have her be the only front runner of that field on Republic. Of course, just a thought though. I mostly love Atlantic currently, but I know Brandy and Atlantic have their past too, so...  :dead:

True. JoJo is a special case though with her being tied up with Blackground for the longest. I feel Brandy with her star power on any label that promotes her consistently and prominently will be good, whomever that label is.
