Some months ago, confirmation that Chris Brown, Frank Ocean and Rico Love would be working on the new Brandy album excited her long waiting fans everywhere.
Now the ‘Moesha‘ belle has revealed the inspiration behind the project’s futuristic sound and why fans can expect her to stay true to her ‘R&B’ roots.
Read what she had to say below…
On the album’s sound, she explained:
I know my fans have been patiently waiting for new material from me and I want to give them what they deserve.
The sound I am going for on the new album will be “futuristic R&B”.
I want it to be different and new from R&B in the past and present, but not too different and new. I still want to be able to stay true to my R&B roots.
With the talented Rico Love working on a number of ‘R&B’ projects at the moment, let’s hope he doesn’t pull a Ryan Tedder and find himself giving identical songs to different artists ( see Kelly Clarkson ‘Already Gone’ and Beyonce’s ‘Halo‘).

Come quickly Brandy and lets see what u cooking up.
I love Brandy 🙂
Pre-release hype is common, but I’m not falling for it.I’ll have to listen to the first official single before judging the direction.
Labels need to realize you can’t Sell an aerist if there’s No support wtf is up with these labels
mmm if it ever came out,l ll be there for sure
lets see about this!! this is her last chance, she has flopped twice before!!
FINALLY SOME REAL R&B
B-ROCKA! I love love this woman.
“and I can think of almost six times seven digits almost eight up your chance. you acting like your love got nine lives…”
I’m ready
@JL her only flopped album is Human, Afrodisiac went Gold with limited promo…….anyways i’m anticipating her new music!
the article had more info, including that she is working with Timbaland again, and with new writers and producers.
and other news, she will appear on The Game next season.
I’m not worried about the music – Brandy delivers! Period. She’s one of the few artist that always conjure up something fresh and provide innovative R&B. I actually love all of her musical layers. Brandy’s a pro!

Christina aguilera said the same thing before releasing “BIONIC” !! and she said it is ORGANIC AND FRESH as well , but ppl didn’t care I guess !
just saying !
But at least she’s CHRISTINA AGUILERA !!!
Brandy’s COMIN HARD… She needs to take Never Say Never, and evolve it to a future sound, and I think Tim understands how to make brandy’s unique vocals come to fire, on a track.I think tracks like ‘how high’ ‘ Whos The Loser Now’, Home, Drumlife.. is MORe the direction she needs to come in..
Whilst she is best known to display her vunerability in her vocals, I cant wait for new material with higher energy and uptempo beats that she owns with her unique tones.
Frank Ocean working wid Brandy= DOPE..
If Chris gives Brandy tracks like Geronemo….I’ll be happy
YES Broka..

@BRANDYALLDAWAY,
Yes indeed. Just had the song on repeat on my way to work this morning. To this day Full Moon is still my favorite Brandy album and she always releases something different. She may not be the most powerful vocalist, but I love what she does with her voice.
Goodbye! Ray and brandy are now washed up its official monica is shittttiinnnggg on brandy in looks music and money now that she married her baller y’all are so mad aren’t you lol
I don’t think these people have any idea what futuristic means.
I guarantee you once Brandy releases her album, that mess is gonna sound just like everything else out.
Now, everyone wants to throw around the term “futuristic” yet don’t deliver the results.

@MONICA IS BETTER,
Monica is very talented and has an amazing voice but I haven’t been a big fan of her style of music for a while. I’m glad she is doing her thing and not being HAM like some of the gurrlz on this blog.
How can somebody be mad if it’s your opinion that Monica is a better artists than Brandy? I’d be more upset with your level of perceived intelligence and maturity.
@NICHOLE,
I guess you’re the expert on futuristic sound? Please enlighten us, boo. It’s unfortunate that you’re not in a studio with a major artists…and are instead loitering on thatgrapejuice soliciting followers for your twitter profile. that’s so futuristic of you, gurr.
@JP
Brandy is powerful in her own way, no-one can touch her vocal tones, shes one that truly knows her artistry, and her LIVE performances of Late, have been AMAZIN, and powerful.. shes Unlocking herself on stage, which is what a fan or star wants to see.
Theres Rumours out now that brandy is also appearing on the Game Season 5.. keep it popin B, the full moon song that struck me last night was ‘nothing’ but Never Say Never was my brandy album.. its that Rasp that kills me all the time
E.T. better make this album worthwhile….. 3 strikes and you’re OUT b****!!!
don’t make a 4 replica boo
@ALMOND JOY,
Every Brandy album is a worthwhile affair, but she is serially underrated. I’m hoping that her next album connects commercially with a larger audience.
That E.T. joke was kind of funny, you sponge b*** bottom (just joking…kind of)
DIS VOCAL FLOP BIBLE NEED 2 GIT UP OUT MY FACE.DIS STUPID B**** IZ UNTALANTED AND THINK SHE DA S***.NEWSFLASH HONEY!!!YHU AND GAY-J ARE WASHED UP YOU TRIFILN B****!!!!DATS Y ALL YO ALBUMS FLOPPED YHU DUMB B****.AND YHU CAN’T DRIVE AT ALL.I DON’T LIKE DIS STUPID TRYCK WITH A PASSION
#IRRELEVANTHOE #FUCKDHISSTUPIDASSNONDRIVINGBITCH
AND IF DHAT 58978 YEAR OLD B**** @JESSICA SHOW UP,TELL HER SHE’S A FLOP ANND SHE AIN’T S***.STUPID TRYCK.DON’T NOBODY NEED NO DAMN HOOKED ON FONICS
I think it’ll be great and I don’t need to hear a first single to know that I’ll definitely pick up her album. I love Brandy’s voice and given the lack of mainstream attention to Black women in the entertainment business, I doubt we’ll see her all over mainstream shows so fan support will be crucial.
Like I said re Keyshia Cole, Monica, Mary and other r&b chicks who are releasing albums – keep it r&b and I will definitely buy the album, go into that pop/dance/trance/electronica bull-ish & I won’t.
I’ll take. Nobody want no old a** 90’s R&B, & especially what people consider R&B today. She’s an artist. She’s always been innovative. Bring it Bran!
Get it straight- EVERYBODY want classic 90s rnb singing.
This modern and “futuristic” auto-tune sounding s*** is FLOPPPPPworthy.
Brandy betta come hard on her 1rst cd type s*** or give it up.
Monica returned to her roots and met sucess. Follow the same formula. They need another damn duet already. Maybe a remake!!
LMDAO @ SOME DELUSIONAL STANS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO RATHER THAN BASHING VETERANS IN THE BUSINESS.
HEY TO ALL THE #STARZ HOLDING IT DOWN SIMPLE AND POLITE CUZ THATS HOW WE DO IT.
BRANDY BRING IT ON.
@F*** TRANDY!!!MONICASLAYS,
It’s unfortunate that you have such ill-feelings towards Brandy. I do not know her personally, but she has apparently caused you some grievance?
Brandy is exceptionally talented and I just love what her music does for me.
If you’re still in your local library abusing its internet privileges and you get a chance to read this, please find it in your heart to forgive Brandy. I almost feel sorry for creatures like you that some how manage to gain access to the internet, but Almost Doesn’t Count.
Sam always posting old news…smh!!
Yes she is she is the one and only VocalBible, you mad???? B**** please………….!!!!!
Brandy isn’t an artist people should even consider disrespecting. These litttle kids can be so rude at time. Brandy Brazil and the whole world is waiting like crazy so bring it harder than ever which I believe you will. We love you so much.
I’ve always love Bran and Mo and will never compare the two cuz each is different in their own way.
I can wait for NewLife as well as Bran’s new hits.
Please stop the hate cuz you ain’t gonna win when it comes to Bran.
@BEYONCEANDKELLY2011,
It’s great that Monica executed a game plan that afforded her commercial and critical success, but will that same plan provide similar results for Brandy? Why should it? Is it written somewhere that this is the way it works?
You seem really smart like you should have your own record company or be a manager for the next big pop star. It’s flattering that you would take time from your very busy schedule and impart your infinite wisdom on us undeserving Brandy fans. Thank you for being so generous as to put down your broom and dust pan to tell us how the industry works.
I’m not reading any comments, brandy Norwood will BRING it on this album fear not. She’s a fekin legend and NO ONE can match those vocals.
She won’t say it unless it’s happening like her or hate her u can’t deny REAL RAW talent
@JP Preach bruv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol
This idiots can be so obvious at times that I just cannot with them.
Brandy I just cannot w8
So basically you will be channeling Aaliyah and Ciara this go round? Futuristic R&B? Let me guess One in a million, 4 Page letter, Like a surgeon, Work hmm ok. I love Brandy but that Trandy s*** is a ki
I can see Aaliyah’s last album being categorized as future R&B (love the album Aaliyah), but not Ciara.
And Brandy’s sound is unique no matter what she does, so I’m pretty sure her new music will not be reminiscent to those two. The three artists all have different styles and skill levels.
Rico Love is on a lot people’s stuff..he just worked with Adam Lambert this week, really want to hear this track..and he’s working with Usher as well..Sony/RCA wants their artists working with him
I hope she’s successful with this. I really want for her to do well.
Just give her chance! She’s more than music! She act’s too! So if the album don’t do well she has a back up plan! It’s just so much talent out there that get’s over looked! Y’all know wht i mean! The ones with vocal’s get over looked!
I’ll have to wait and see what she comes out with. Knowing Brandy, she will bring out some great music.
@MONICASLAYS : 1. Damn, you still can’t speak proper English and still your spelling is horrible- it’s called “HOOKED ON PHONICS” – Phonics with a “P” not an “F”, if any teacher see how you spelled that you would FAIL!!! 2. Expand your vocabulary, theonly word that is coming out of your mouth is “FLOP” and “B****”….so damn sad….. 3. 58978 year old “B****”, what your counting numbers now to be smart, ya you really need to see a mental doctor for real SMH!!! 4. Once again you haven’t answered a simple minded question: WHY ARE YOU SO DAMN ASS OBSESSED ABOUT BRANDY??? You clearly like her because that’s all you talk about in every Brandy post, who are you foolin’??? Time and Time again you try to put Monica and Brandy against each other and as usual you don’t know jack because your not a TRUE FAN!!! Monica doesn’t start beefs, its people like you who don’t know crap from your ass talking s***, DUMBASS!!! Monica and Brandy are humble, they both support each other, they both worked together, so what is your beef?? You making a damn ass fool of yourself on here. What you seriously need to do is see a mental doctor and get some help with your OBSESSION WITH BRANDY 24/7 because you are becoming a REAL ASS STALKER!!! Also please learn how to SPEAK DAMN ASS ENGLISH- IS THAT SO DAMN HARD??? AND PLEASE PLEASE EXPAND YOUR VOCABULARY BESIDES SAYING “FLOP” AND “B****” IT MAKES YOU SOUND LIKE A 10 YEAR OLD FOOL!!!! GOOD NITE!!!
shes also confirmed to be working with @iamseangarrett @bangledesh check out their tweets @4everbrandy
i’m ready! i’ve always loved Brandy’s music! 🙂
wow, why his that Monica fan always so angry???? did Brandy personally do somethin’ to you? why are you so angry at the girl? i don’t understand it. LMAOOOOO
eagerly waiting for her next offering. i dont enjoy reading hate messages, so haters spare us those. brandy is incomparable talented. talented in her own way and lack of success of her music commercially only endorses her as a true artist who stay true to her true fans. I hv always disagreed with pple who says Human was dumb. talk of songs like ‘Piano man, Fall, Shattered heart,True, Comoflouge’. Surprisingly, no day pases without hearing piano man being played in shops or a public place or cab. the song is still an anthem even after 3 years of the album’s release. The failure of that album must be attributed to lack of promotion. If they had released pano man as second single after Right here had made a waves, the album would have gone platinum. Just compare some albums that were released at the same time as human and that actually did well commercially. You will not hear any of the songs being played anywhere. Its because some artists just release ‘bubblegum’ music that don’t last.
