lol and now people are dragging Normani because she's honest about not liking most of her new album. They're not always going to like it, but they have to fulfill contracts. It is what it is. It's business. I personally love both albums.
FYI - in a recent interview and a tweet in 2022, Brandy says she’s fond of the album now because it has helped a lot of fans. We won y’all! I think she just needed time to appreciate it!
Thats crazy that she felt that way because to me Human gave Never Say Never 2.0 vibes. The whole album to me was a story and journey from beginnings to end. It's still in my rotation to this day.
She snapped on that whole album. First & Love makes me go crazy. Torn Down is a classic. I can play that whole album all day. Her only problem is she lied about the Marriage and got exposed that year. Now she hates it...and all her fans follow the leader
I think they possibly had a tighter album whenever she first turned it in to EPIC(sony) and they made her go back re record because they wanted a more pop record. I think Rodney could have stepped in more with production but who knows if they gave him a decent bag for a whole record….so many leaks were from that album and the songs she did with Timbaland that didn’t make the album sound alot more fitting than some of the other songs….I also think she should have avoided all the press at that time because daytime tv people would constantly bring up the car accident during the human promo
THIS THIS THIS!!! 🎯🎯🎯 I was confused as to why Brandy was saying Rodney didn’t give his all but in actuality, HE REALLY DID!! That album really helped me thru some tough times. It was probably the label she was on that didn’t really push it to be that successful. But overall it’s a good album.
I heard that album on Amazon music. Those 31 seconds on each song were💯. It's her 2nd best album. Behind Two Eleven deluxe. It's like people are only hating because she hates it🤔. People that don't like Human need their ears looked at💯
@@derrbearrr2.076He absolutely did NOT give Brandy his best. Listen to the other songs he did with other artists in 2007, 2008, and 2009. And Brandy helped the nigga cultivate his sound but that’s another story for another day.
Human is in my top 10 favorite albums EVER! Het vocal are outta this world as are the songs and lyrics. Everything about that album was pure gold. No songs about sex, twerking or any of that mess. Just pure emotions and a lot of love and life. I'll always love Human and sings every song at the top of my lungs! Warm it up with love, torn down, piano man, fall, 1st & love, right here... Oh my God! Gotta go listen to it again it's been almost 24 hours that I didn't listen to Human. Hope you change your mind Brandy and give ud a Human Part 2 (if that's even possible) ❤️
At her album signing for Two Eleven. I brought her Human album(along with the rest). That album cover and booklet is so dark, you can't get her to sign anywhere. That's the only issue with the album. Other than that💯. It's her 2nd best album. Right behind Two Eleven deluxe
Omg. Yassss and more yassss. I feel the same love for human album. It’s my favourite album by far N vocally brandy’s best work. I listened to it every day. What’s your favourites from the album? Although there’s no skip for me
I love the Human album some of those songs are my favorites it’s a shame she didn’t like it. Many of her fans love it to, her first single from that album is one of my favorite songs! I love all of her albums including Human!
Exactly!!!! And Brandy is my favorite artist of all time but if it debuted top 5 she would have had a different view on it. Human is literally top 3 favorite Brandy albums I study that one like I do Full Moon
I only listen to The Definition, Right Here, Warm It Up (With Love) & Camouflage off of that album, but only cos its such a pop driven album and her core sound is r&b. Rodney tried too hard to make her chart with pop tracks that he fucked up her sound and confused her fanbase and undercharted. She has so much unreleased r&b music from that era that should have been on the real Human album. It is sad that Brandy's main issue is that it didnt chart well though.
And Rodney did the production on those songs he gave her good music suites for the album but the other producers on the album kinda do stray away from the sound he started the album with. I think he probably wanted more money to produce a full Brandy project and epic probably didn’t want to honor it…also a lot of the leaks from that album were from Timbaland and they do fit the sound of human but they were scrapped! Piano man & long distance DONT FIT HUMAN AT ALL!
Thank you. This is exactly why Brandy nor DarkChild ever mentions the Human album. It's because Rodney didn't give Brandy his best work. I lost a lot of respect for Rodney after the Human album. Brandy & Darkchild can work together on a song just like they did on the TV show STAR. But as a fan, I NEVER want DarkChild to be an Executive Producer on a Brandy album ever again. I don't trust him.
This was one of the best album she has ever done. Human was fantastic. Right here, shattered heart, true, fall, piano man, camouflage straight bangers. I still bump this album. Rodney came through on this one. That mix and arrangement is stellar
I think what made Brandy gravitate away from the album because they were probably trying to push her into the Pop element to compete with Rhianna and Beyoncé and honestly I don’t think she wanted to do that, because of where she was in her life. Sometimes you gotta know your element and I think all that was happeneing around her at that time, the accident , may have had something to do with it. But she gave us one of the best albums a Brandy listener could want.
Human was a pretty amazing album. Tbh. It’s better than even some of her latest. Every song was so good. It wasn’t marketed well but that album was amazing.
But human was great. She’s just mad that it wasn’t commercially successful, But don’t play Rodney solely for that. You’re the artist as well, you play a part love.
Just listened to the entire album for the first time and I personally loved it. It’s different from all her other albums but I appreciate the risk she took with it. I think quality of the album was fine, it’s the lack of marketing and promotion that hurt it same with Full Moon and Afrodisac. Full Moon and Afrodisiac were amazing albums but they would’ve done better commercially had they been pushed better.
HUMAN is by far Brandy’s best vocal work. My favourite Brandy album & my favourite album by Any artist so far. There are no SKIPS. I’m not kidding I listened to that album everyday.
I heard those 31 second samples on Amazon. It sounded great. The album was even great. It's right behind Two Eleven deluxe as her best work (To me). Mic rating is a easy 🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️
I hear it all The time My fave songs are the definition Warm it up with love Right here Departed Camouflage Long distance Torn Down Human Acappella 1st and love ⬅️ favorite
It's my 2nd favorite Brandy album. Right behind Two Eleven deluxe. I can play Human straight to the end with no skips. Still, 1st & Love & Torn Down are the two songs that pops in my head if I heard about her album Human🔥💯🔥💯
HUMAN was what it was supposed to be. It was her comeback since the accident. To me it was a hey I made a mistake..if u still love me continue to walk with me..&&& we did. Love you Rocka❤
Brandy is right rodney was giving her left overs and giving janet and pussycat dolls heat and ray j never released an official album after signing the deal with rodney
..looking back on it now I see why brandy feels so strongly about human. I think at the time they were wanting her to be seen in a more remorseful state and they made the album match that tone. If you hear the unreleased tracks from human, totally different vibe and actually more uptempo than the album itself. She's right, would've been a completely different album.
Lay Royalty same I don’t like it either the only song really can give a pass is right here (departed) That’s the only one but other then that it just didn’t feel like a brandy album.... if you know what I mean💖✨
This just makes me so sad. Human is my favorite album of hers. I could really relate to a lot of the songs and I feel like she did some of the best vocal performances on that album. I get if pop isn't really her thing but I just refuse to see the album as awful. I'm honestly not fully convinced she hates it cause a few years ago, she posted a snapchat or some kind of online video of her lip-syncing to the song Torn Down that's from the album so I can't help but feel like what people are saying is true that she's only talking shit cause of how bad it did on the charts.
I agree with Brandy. I am a huuuuuge Brandy fan but even though Brandy's vocals are top notched on the Human album I am not ever in the mood for the vibe of it. Its just not my cup of tea.
The way she jumped down Ray’s throat over hearing Rodney’s name 🤣🤣🤣🤣 It’s really not a bad album lol. She was just upset over it’s chart performance. I remember her saying she didn’t like the two eleven album and I was done with her. I had to drag her. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Like girl, it’s not always about hits.
EXACTLY!!! I think Brandy wanted to relive that 90s, 00s overall success she had with Never Say Never and Full Moon. Human was that album that helped me heal from a lot things going on in my life during that time. It’s so inspirational and just makes you cry. Two Eleven was a good ass album too.
Well I remember in highschool when she was promoting the album alot of daytime tv folk kept bringing up the car accident which I think was not a good thing. I do think that epic made her go in and record more records because I believe whatever she turned in first had to be fire 🔥 especially the records that leaked with Timbaland…because Rodney didn’t really produce the album like he did with his team with NSN & FULL MOON he only had credits on a few songs with human. He probably wanted more money
I actually agree with her. Human is a good album but it definitely was her worst up until that point and the songs weren’t BRANDY songs. It was a collection of generic songs that were good because of how she sang them. It doesn’t help that Darkchild was giving other artists MUCH better songs than he was giving Brandy. I think her feelings are more than valid
Keyshia Cole The Point of No Return album. MC Eiht Last Man Standing are all great albums those artist didn't like. I love Human💙💯. It's my 2nd favorite Brandy album, right behind her Two Eleven deluxe
She dont need to blame him because the Album wasnt successful. I think all artists have albums that arent as successful as the others. But I loved Human. I remember buying it when it was released
She crossed over into pop by doing sophisticated R&B. Brandy had a winning formula and that album was not that. It felt like a Natasha Bedingfield album sung by Brandy.
Lol I can see that I WILL SAY THIS Rodney didn’t produce a lot of records on that album lol the records he did produce were cohesive and conceptual but it’s goes away right after the first suite of songs the definition, warm it up with love & right here ARE ALL BANGERS But cohesive and different…the album severely changes with “long distance” ( a song Bruno mars wrote & I didn’t like LD as a song for her & for the album it does not fit the human album at all) camaflauge & torn down do bring it back to place of cohesion but then it falls off again…too many one off producers were involved in the project
She could be speaking on some deeper shit besides just liking the record. He could have had control over which songs were selected. For example, he could have influenced the label to go with certain tracks. The album could have been more successful if just a handful of songs brandy thought were more creative included on the record. A lot of tracks that were not chosen during the human album were amazing as hell. I'm speaking pretentiously, but she's not given me a salty vibe she seems genuinely conflicted about the final product
@@antonzanarkand Oh this is so amazing to hear. Which bonus track? It honestly helped me so much this album trough tough times and I emerged on the other side
I liked Torn Down, Warm It Up, 1st & Love, A Capella. But most of the songs were just too goody-goody and Pop-y. They were trying too hard to save her good girl image that they lost her sauce. Bran was cooking with grease on Afrodisiac, she was spicy. Human needed some sauce, some black pepper or something lol. People saying this is her best album is wild to me. It's very inspirational, but Human was not better than Never Say Never, Full Moon, or Afrodisiac.
She lied(that's why). She hates to look at that album or that year 2008. Still, I love all her albums. Her first even grew on me💯. She got better with every album, just like Aaliyah
Yeah that era a lot of fans were saying a lot of dumb stuff and making comments about the first week sales & chart performance…Brandy is a singer most singers starting are more concerned with putting music out having creative control & a band that take there work to the stage! Not ever album is gonna be a B.I.G. commercial hit r&b isn’t hip hop oriented that’s how a lot of the fans were acting
@@nenej12 at this point, I just want another Pop/R&B album from her. To make up for the “Human” era. Cuz I do believe she had good songs on there to become radio hits
Human is an entirely a genre shift for Brandy. It just sounded pop in nature which does not actually reflecta Brandy as an artist and all of her previous works. Whether the album flop or not, I believed Brandy will still have not liked that album. Im just upset she pushed the blame to Rodney. I believed Brandy had control of the album on how she wanted and I do also believed she wanted a more pop sound for that album. And Rodney did a great job in sounding pop. Right Here (departed) was a bop!
I can’t lie when I say that I feel sooo much better knowing that Brandy didn’t really care for the Human album because… it’s not exactly one of my favorites! 😭 HUGE Brandy fan, but I just cannot, for the life of me, get into that album. 😩
ok human is a good album but you could tell it wasn’t brandy. it was almost like a ‘brandy sings pop’ when you listen to her 2nd 3d, 7th and christmas album it’s BRANDY. darkchild gave hus ALL into full moon and her second album you can tell what she meant. As artists we give our music like because it is our life and when people don’t take that seriously it hurts on a personal level.
i can also see the lyrical content is not the problem. it’s the sound she couldn’t be at peace with. Right here departed is one of the most heart wrenching uptempo songs of all time.
I get why Brandy is hard on that album, out of all her albums it’s one of the most generic sounding albums. Meaning any pop singer could’ve sung those. Rodney Jerkins was known to be a super creative producer so she was underwhelmed with what he gave her. However that album is great, even the message of it was perfection. I get her artistry of always wanting to push R&B to new levels but it’s ok to do more traditional songs
I highly, respectfully and 100% disagree with Brandy, about her own album. Human is in my top 3 favorite albums from her. And it's a high #1. I'm witchu when you right B. Rocka. And from your words here, I'm guessing you probably base your opinion on sales. But you're wrong about Human. EVERY.. SINGLE ..SONG was straight fire. The vocals🔥 the tracks🔥 the lyrical content and overall album flow🔥 ALL dripping with raw emotion and creativity! So different from everything she's done Human is by far my favorite Brandy album.
I think the only reason she didn’t like it was because I didn’t do good and unfortunately the only people you can blame for that is the fans. A lot of her fan base radius to the R&B sound and did not like pop.
Yeah I actually agree that the album could’ve been better. Especially because the unreleased tracks were better. Go listen to “List” it was more uptempo and current with R&B 2000 style.
I like brandy.. I just think the human album didn't sale well and she wasn't happy vocally the album was decent to me it coulda been better but it did what it supposed to do vocally it was good!
Human is Such an Underrated Work of Art! Her most transparent and raw album. It's literally in my top 3 favorite Brandy albums even Brandy needs to really go back listen and dissect what she did on that album. Camouflage is one of my top 5 tracks from her in her catalog True Acapella Long Distance Right Here Departed Yes! Lemme go pop that album in!
![mens obsession with humbling women [“i had to humble her”]](/img/1.gif)
this is why we can’t ever trust artist when they’re doing a promo run and they say it’s their fave album they’ve done lol.
lol and now people are dragging Normani because she's honest about not liking most of her new album. They're not always going to like it, but they have to fulfill contracts. It is what it is. It's business. I personally love both albums.
FYI - in a recent interview and a tweet in 2022, Brandy says she’s fond of the album now because it has helped a lot of fans. We won y’all!

Thats crazy that she felt that way because to me Human gave Never Say Never 2.0 vibes. The whole album to me was a story and journey from beginnings to end. It's still in my rotation to this day.
I'm sorry but human is my favorite album by here. so positive and DEPARTED/RIGHT HERE will FOREVER be a banger
She snapped on that whole album. First & Love makes me go crazy. Torn Down is a classic. I can play that whole album all day. Her only problem is she lied about the Marriage and got exposed that year. Now she hates it...and all her fans follow the leader
Omg. Yes. It’s my favourite brandy album
Same! Its my favorite! Cover to cover
idc care what anyone says, 'Human' is a banger! (but i do agree, the genre didnt push boundaries like some of her other work)
and i will not mention sales or anything because most of my favourite artists do. not. top. charts.
I think they possibly had a tighter album whenever she first turned it in to EPIC(sony) and they made her go back re record because they wanted a more pop record. I think Rodney could have stepped in more with production but who knows if they gave him a decent bag for a whole record….so many leaks were from that album and the songs she did with Timbaland that didn’t make the album sound alot more fitting than some of the other songs….I also think she should have avoided all the press at that time because daytime tv people would constantly bring up the car accident during the human promo
Phewww...I hated her wigs on that show as much as she hated Human. I loveee my girl tho❤❤
This is insane cuz I thought the Human album was sooo good
Human was the most therapeutic albums I've ever heard in my life.
I LOVED HUMAN she was just upset bc it was not as successful as it should have been 😭
THIS THIS THIS!!! 🎯🎯🎯 I was confused as to why Brandy was saying Rodney didn’t give his all but in actuality, HE REALLY DID!! That album really helped me thru some tough times. It was probably the label she was on that didn’t really push it to be that successful. But overall it’s a good album.
Exactly
Musicly
Lyricly
Vocaly
Its insanly great
I heard that album on Amazon music. Those 31 seconds on each song were💯. It's her 2nd best album. Behind Two Eleven deluxe. It's like people are only hating because she hates it🤔. People that don't like Human need their ears looked at💯
Human was/is Such a work of art!
So beautifully crafted.
I pray one day she will go back and give it a listen with new ears
@@derrbearrr2.076He absolutely did NOT give Brandy his best. Listen to the other songs he did with other artists in 2007, 2008, and 2009. And Brandy helped the nigga cultivate his sound but that’s another story for another day.
Human is in my top 10 favorite albums EVER!
Het vocal are outta this world as are the songs and lyrics.
Everything about that album was pure gold.
No songs about sex, twerking or any of that mess. Just pure emotions and a lot of love and life.
I'll always love Human and sings every song at the top of my lungs!
Warm it up with love, torn down, piano man, fall, 1st & love, right here... Oh my God!
Gotta go listen to it again it's been almost 24 hours that I didn't listen to Human.
Hope you change your mind Brandy and give ud a Human Part 2 (if that's even possible)
❤️
At her album signing for Two Eleven. I brought her Human album(along with the rest). That album cover and booklet is so dark, you can't get her to sign anywhere. That's the only issue with the album. Other than that💯. It's her 2nd best album. Right behind Two Eleven deluxe

I loved Human honestly came out when I was a kid loved loved loved it
She is CRAZY that album is incredible!! I mean imagine being so insanely talented that you think an amazing album you recorded isn’t great! 🤯
Madam that’s your best album no cap
She sounded the best vacally on Human then any of her other albums.
Human was amazing. I loved it. Sad she doesn’t like it.
She can shove her thoughts on Human where the sun don't shine because that is her best work to date.
I love the Human album some of those songs are my favorites it’s a shame she didn’t like it. Many of her fans love it to, her first single from that album is one of my favorite songs! I love all of her albums including Human!
I freaking love it
The vocals are outta this World
I enjoyed the unreleased songs from it better. Shame some of those songs didn’t make the cut
if it was a success she’d say it’s her best work
Exactly!!!!
And Brandy is my favorite artist of all time but if it debuted top 5 she would have had a different view on it.

What song did they do together on STAR??? I had no clue about that. I have to hear it!!
Brandy
Human

It's that good💯. Brandy said what alot of artist say if the album flops in sales.
I love Human omg

HUMAN was what it was supposed to be. It was her comeback since the accident.
To me it was a hey I made a mistake..if u still love me continue to walk with me..&&& we did. Love you Rocka❤
Brandy is right rodney was giving her left overs and giving janet and pussycat dolls heat and ray j never released an official album after signing the deal with rodney

If you hear the unreleased tracks from human, totally different vibe and actually more uptempo than the album itself. She's right, would've been a completely different album.
Gonna Find My Love is my favorite bonus track from that era
I’m crying at this damn title 💀
ummmm no HUMAN WAS FIREEEE i still blast that! acapella and piano man was dope!! my fav songs i can play the whole album with no skips
one of my fav albums by an rnb albums of all time not one skip the entire album
Yeah Rodney didn’t deserve that at all… Human was a good album.
I love the HUMAN album!
human was a hooot album trust me,, that was the most successful album Brandy ever made
Ok. I always said Human was my least favorite albums
Lay Royalty same I don’t like it either the only song really can give a pass is right here (departed) That’s the only one but other then that it just didn’t feel like a brandy album.... if you know what I mean💖✨

Human album was the bomb. Yoooo
Great taste in music💯🎼🎵🎶🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙. She's just mad it didn't sell
It is great
I'm feelin' her "Human" wasn't sound like I used to listen from her.
I agree with Brandy. I am a huuuuuge Brandy fan but even though Brandy's vocals are top notched on the Human album I am not ever in the mood for the vibe of it. Its just not my cup of tea.
I love human
Human was AMAZING
I love the HUMAN album!! It is a masterpiece!
I absolutely loved human!!!!
Y’all didn’t hear the unreleased songs they were way better than what was put on the album so I understand her frustration 😂😂😂😂
Especially the songs Timbaland did
Human was soooooo good!
The way she jumped down Ray’s throat over hearing Rodney’s name 🤣🤣🤣🤣 It’s really not a bad album lol. She was just upset over it’s chart performance. I remember her saying she didn’t like the two eleven album and I was done with her. I had to drag her. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Like girl, it’s not always about hits.

Human is actually my favourite album of all time. I am so heart broken that she doesn’t like it.
It's my 2nd favorite Brandy album(2/11 #1)
I think she does like it, she just doesn't like that it didn't chart well.
Omg. Rogeh. Same.. HUMAN is byfar my favourite album by any artist till now & certainly Brandy’s best vocal work.
had the sales been great, she'd have sung a different tune about the album
Best Songs on Brandy’s Human Album in my opinion:
Long Distance
Right here
Fall
Long Distance “Acapella”
I like those songs and I like True and Piano Man
She sat up there and recorded it 😂 its on u gorl
I actually agree with her. Human is a good album but it definitely was her worst up until that point and the songs weren’t BRANDY songs. It was a collection of generic songs that were good because of how she sang them. It doesn’t help that Darkchild was giving other artists MUCH better songs than he was giving Brandy. I think her feelings are more than valid
and now in her in her ig bio it says “i love my human album now”
Keyshia Cole The Point of No Return album. MC Eiht Last Man Standing are all great albums those artist didn't like. I love Human💙💯. It's my 2nd favorite Brandy album, right behind her Two Eleven deluxe

Lol I can see that I WILL SAY THIS Rodney didn’t produce a lot of records on that album lol the records he did produce were cohesive and conceptual but it’s goes away right after the first suite of songs the definition, warm it up with love & right here ARE ALL BANGERS But cohesive and different…the album severely changes with “long distance” ( a song Bruno mars wrote & I didn’t like LD as a song for her & for the album it does not fit the human album at all) camaflauge & torn down do bring it back to place of cohesion but then it falls off again…too many one off producers were involved in the project
@mmurph so true. I disliked that album.
She could be speaking on some deeper shit besides just liking the record. He could have had control over which songs were selected. For example, he could have influenced the label to go with certain tracks. The album could have been more successful if just a handful of songs brandy thought were more creative included on the record.
A lot of tracks that were not chosen during the human album were amazing as hell.
I'm speaking pretentiously, but she's not given me a salty vibe she seems genuinely conflicted about the final product
I feel like “Never Say Never” AND “Full Moon” were actually MORE POP than Human. Am I the only one who thinks this?!
Human is great album i hope she sees it now :(
she is starting liking it !!! she said it on a recent interview :)
@@NClassics I was sure sure I was thinking about I am sure she is going to like it with time It's a really great album
She doesn't only like it, she loves it now. It got her through stuff and her favourite song is a bonus track.
@@antonzanarkand Oh this is so amazing to hear. Which bonus track? It honestly helped me so much this album trough tough times and I emerged on the other side
@@antonzanarkand Gonna Find My Love, Locket (Locked in Love)
Maybe she should write and produce her own music then. It was her best album. Ever.
Human was lit
Wow!!! I love "1st and Love" written by Frank Ocean btw! And "a cappella" is a whole Lesson on vocals. She was tripping.
I liked Torn Down, Warm It Up, 1st & Love, A Capella. But most of the songs were just too goody-goody and Pop-y. They were trying too hard to save her good girl image that they lost her sauce. Bran was cooking with grease on Afrodisiac, she was spicy. Human needed some sauce, some black pepper or something lol. People saying this is her best album is wild to me. It's very inspirational, but Human was not better than Never Say Never, Full Moon, or Afrodisiac.
I loved her Human album. Her fans were shady that era
She lied(that's why). She hates to look at that album or that year 2008. Still, I love all her albums. Her first even grew on me💯. She got better with every album, just like Aaliyah
Yeah that era a lot of fans were saying a lot of dumb stuff and making comments about the first week sales & chart performance…Brandy is a singer most singers starting are more concerned with putting music out having creative control & a band that take there work to the stage! Not ever album is gonna be a B.I.G. commercial hit r&b isn’t hip hop oriented that’s how a lot of the fans were acting
@@nenej12 at this point, I just want another Pop/R&B album from her. To make up for the “Human” era. Cuz I do believe she had good songs on there to become radio hits
Im glad that she has grown more and embrace that body of work
Human is STILL my favorite album
I like human
Human was her last good musical effort. Better than Afrodisac, Two Eleven (or was Twelve Eleven) and B7.
I love Human❤
full moon was her best tho hands down! 😂❤
Where can I find the first interview?
i meannn i really like human but it was a step down from her previous albums. especially her first 3
Human is an entirely a genre shift for Brandy. It just sounded pop in nature which does not actually reflecta Brandy as an artist and all of her previous works. Whether the album flop or not, I believed Brandy will still have not liked that album. Im just upset she pushed the blame to Rodney. I believed Brandy had control of the album on how she wanted and I do also believed she wanted a more pop sound for that album. And Rodney did a great job in sounding pop. Right Here (departed) was a bop!
It was a bop but the lyrics was sad at the same time
I can’t lie when I say that I feel sooo much better knowing that Brandy didn’t really care for the Human album because… it’s not exactly one of my favorites! 😭 HUGE Brandy fan, but I just cannot, for the life of me, get into that album. 😩
Me either. It was not my cup of tea.
Human is a GREAT Album.
Nah. Agreed. That was her worst album.
HUMAN IS MAGICAL still in 2024!!!
ok human is a good album but you could tell it wasn’t brandy. it was almost like a ‘brandy sings pop’ when you listen to her 2nd 3d, 7th and christmas album it’s BRANDY. darkchild gave hus ALL into full moon and her second album you can tell what she meant. As artists we give our music like because it is our life and when people don’t take that seriously it hurts on a personal level.
*life
i can also see the lyrical content is not the problem. it’s the sound she couldn’t be at peace with. Right here departed is one of the most heart wrenching uptempo songs of all time.
I get why Brandy is hard on that album, out of all her albums it’s one of the most generic sounding albums. Meaning any pop singer could’ve sung those. Rodney Jerkins was known to be a super creative producer so she was underwhelmed with what he gave her. However that album is great, even the message of it was perfection. I get her artistry of always wanting to push R&B to new levels but it’s ok to do more traditional songs
Probably my least played album of hers. Doesn’t really represent her artistry all that well. Not a bad body of work but I get her frustration.
I highly, respectfully and 100% disagree with Brandy, about her own album. Human is in my top 3 favorite albums from her. And it's a high #1. I'm witchu when you right B. Rocka. And from your words here, I'm guessing you probably base your opinion on sales. But you're wrong about Human. EVERY.. SINGLE ..SONG was straight fire. The vocals🔥 the tracks🔥 the lyrical content and overall album flow🔥 ALL dripping with raw emotion and creativity! So different from everything she's done Human is by far my favorite Brandy album.
I think the only reason she didn’t like it was because I didn’t do good and unfortunately the only people you can blame for that is the fans. A lot of her fan base radius to the R&B sound and did not like pop.
the reality show wigs were awful
I mean she’s right tho 🤷🏽♂️
Yeah I actually agree that the album could’ve been better. Especially because the unreleased tracks were better. Go listen to “List” it was more uptempo and current with R&B 2000 style.
Damn, I had no idea that she hated that album😅😅.
I like brandy.. I just think the human album didn't sale well and she wasn't happy vocally the album was decent to me it coulda been better but it did what it supposed to do vocally it was good!
I get what she’s saying tho.
Human is Such an Underrated Work of Art!
Her most transparent and raw album.
It's literally in my top 3 favorite Brandy albums even Brandy needs to really go back listen and dissect what she did on that album.
Camouflage is one of my top 5 tracks from her in her catalog
True
Acapella
Long Distance
Right Here Departed
Yes!
Lemme go pop that album in!
Where's this clip from
😅😅😅
