There's definitely some hiccups on the technical side of b7.
Personally, I am able to just take the album for what it is and appreciate how artistically solid it is
but it's not unreasonable for someone to be disappointed that the technical side AND artistic side didn't really meet with this project
It's unfair for assume everyone will give a "glass half full" tea . Ultimately we are consumers of a product - product being ghans music in this case. As with any other product we pay for and support, we will share our opinions and wishes for improvement.
Sometimes the tea can get a bit INTENSE and borderline overkill even , but overall I get it.
there is alot to unpack and process with this project
brandy as an independent artist at the helm of the decision making process and 20 years in the game
And
The writing is not that concrete
SHe hasnt developed an ear for the mixing and mastering side really despite her saying shes tryna make sure everything sounds clear
(like thats a given if your in a good studio)
Her vocals have changed (like mariahs like beyonces like whitneys like celines)
and while her voice is in amazing shape (despite the new breath control issues as a result of smoking)
shes invented this new baby talk vocal as her interpretation of baby bran vocals to compensate for her vocal shifts ( when baby brans vocals sounded alot more mature than that)
and on top of that her insecurity has her re recording the life out of these songs
and overlayering to the point where she cannot even give a solid live performance without a backing track cause of everything going on and all of the studio word for word comps she did during the recording process
and its very telling that this project is being treated as a homegoing project celebrating her career and exalting all of her previous projects when before new album eclipsed everything
and long standing bsource memebers jumped ship and bounced after the release
so lots to unpack with b7
