Brandy Addresses ‘Silent Night’ Leak

Published: Thursday 10th Nov 2011 by Rashad

Fans are undoubtedly itching for tastes of what R&B beauty Brandy is serving up on her next LP.  Boasting contributions from Chris Brown, Bangladesh, Sean Garrett, and more, the ‘He Is’ hitmaker is steadily gaining buzz for the yet-titled project (due 2012).

And while no stranger to leak, a particular “Silent Night” – rumored to be included in the next album’s final set – has been making rounds on the net for weeks.  Looks like the news just got to Brandy:

Thanksgiving may be coming soon, but doesn’t look like much “humble pie” will be on Ms. Norwood’s plate. For in a surprise response, the songstress took to Twitter to make more interesting remarks about the leak.

Find out her thoughts after the jump:

Much like rapper Drake, we have to applaud Brandy for taking the (almost inevitable at this point) leak in stride.  For they do hold the potential to cause considerable damage on the record-sales tip – a damage that is irreparable for some.  But, if one’s album is worthy of replay then a leak could actually work as a promo tool of sorts.  Think of leaks as “recession proof radio”.

On the other hand, we still say kudos to Brandy for acknowledging the beastery that is “Silent Night”.  Considered by many to be a “vocal Bible” of sorts, Ms. Norwood is certainly one of the few who can (playfully or seriously) boast about being “one of the baddest in the game”.  This being in an arena where so many, unfortunately, think being able to sell a record or talk the talk equates support of such claim.

Maximum slayage accomplished.  Listen to “Night” below:

  6. Jessica November 10, 2011

    I can’t wait for Brandy and Monica to drop albums. I have every single albums from them since 1994 and 1995. Throwing shade between them is stupid because 1. THEY DON’T HAVE BEEF WITH EACH OTHER!!! 2. THEY BOTH DID A SONG. 3. THEY BOTH ON THE SAME LABEL NOW. 4. THEY SUPPORT EACH OTHER, POINT BLANK!!! This song is HOT, HOT, HOT!!! Glad both Monica and Brandy are back in the scene again and doing the true R&B music and not doing the horrible trend of music right now!! Both of them are true to themselves. Can’t wait for them to drop there albums and I will buy it, no downloading at all!!!

    Seriously, both sides need to cut the b*******, because I love both! Always have, always will. How many times have Brandy and Monica stated they have zero animosity towards each other? For the love of God, these women have not only taken pictures together, but they’ve created a song with one another. Both queens are amazing at what they do, and for them to continue delivering timeless music after all these years is a blessing within itself.

    Now back on topic……”Silent Night” is off the chain! I also heard B-Rocka is working with Chris Brown and Frank Ocean, so I’m super anxious to see what she comes up with. Bran never disappoints.

    Love u Sammy.

  10. BANKS November 10, 2011

  12. ReigningHale November 10, 2011

    Brandy is CRAZY!! Those runs at the end were just amazing!!! WOW!!!!

  13. Bran Star November 10, 2011

    @ Male Madonna

    Chile please, save all that bull. You’re one to talk, constantly coming to Brandy videos and posts bringing up monica’s name when no one asked or wanted to talk about her. And then you throw all that shade at Brandy just to make monica look good in the process…But you know what, it’s okay! You’re gonna eat these words real soon. 2012, watch out…And that’s all I’m gonna say…

  14. skintightjeans November 10, 2011

    I LOVE Brandy! Her Never Say Never and Full Moon cd’s were both the BIZNESS! Come on back Brandy!

  15. Tristan November 10, 2011

    It’s a great track and Brandy’s vocals sound amazing as usual. I’m ready for 2012 to get here already. I need a new album from Ms. Norwood!

  16. atr November 11, 2011

  17. looking for rnb November 11, 2011

  19. blk-87 November 11, 2011

    Wow Im shocked at how good this actually is!!!

  20. Lenny November 11, 2011

    Amazing song. Good luck, Brandy. I expect something like Äfrodisiac” album.

  21. Bc November 11, 2011

    hahha….I like how Brandy even said she killed this track. lol

    Oh…and please stop putting Monica and Brandy against each other. They are friends….and both are vocal beast in their own right. So chill with that.

  22. antertain November 11, 2011

    #TeamBrandy&Monica (unity in number)

    BRANDY sure did SLAY! I don’t know if its a single to impact currently non-quality pop dominated charts but the vocals alone puts my girl on TOP…

    I need this song with that DJ shiiiit on it KMT!

  23. DOB November 11, 2011

    Oooo SAM!!! You ripped that entry to shreds.

  24. nicegirl November 11, 2011

    WOW!! Really nice track. Can’t wait till she releases the album.

  25. JAIYAH November 11, 2011

    YALL GET READY FOR BRANDY, MONICA AND KEISHA COLE 2012. I JUST LUV THEM!

  26. Coolio November 11, 2011

    Love this track! I like that she got a lil cocky, rightly so!!

  27. A November 11, 2011

    Guys, this track is old, Brandy has been recording since Human.

    She was signed by RCA this year, she could use one or two tracks from last year, but the HOT stuff was probably recorded this year, with Chris Brown, Kevin McCall, Frank Ocean, Rico Love, Bangladesh…

    The actual sound of the album will probably have a whole different sound than this.

  28. MISTER C. November 11, 2011

    “You couldn’t look me in my eye, baby when you said goodbye, salty tears I cried. And I was suicidal, but I’m my daughters idol, if not for her, I would have died. Did you ever love me or did you use me for the light I gave you. Now I’m in empty now in my bed in an empty room.” THIS BRIDGE IS THE RAWEST ISH I HAVE HEARD IN FOREVER! SHE KILLED IT! YES BRANDY!

  29. istan4hoodrats November 11, 2011

    This just made me excited for more

  30. Damn Right November 11, 2011

    Why not just REPORT what the tweet says rather than making us enlarge a link that nearly crashed my PC.

  31. RoyalKev November 11, 2011

    I like this track alot, but I think Bran will have even better by the time of the album’s release. Brandy is going to slay. Period!!! I’m not on the Frank Ocean bandwagon, but I think he’ll produce something great for Brandy. Still, I think her working with Breezy is going to produce the album’s gem. Those two together are a match made in heaven. I think this project is going to have a great feel to it. Never-Say – Never and Full Moon are my favorite Brandy cd’s, but I have a feeling this one will be special in it’s own unique way.

  32. YEEZY November 11, 2011

    BRANDY”SS RUNSSSSSS>>>>>>>>> YEsS I LIVE For Ms. Norwood

  33. Justathought November 11, 2011

    Yes! Werk Brandy! I loves it!

  34. JP November 11, 2011

    LUV YOU BRANDY! Keep it coming!

    B-ROCKA!

  35. BRANDYALLDAWAY November 11, 2011

    YES.. Its nice to here a taste of where she was when she was first recording the album.. Im sure this track is like 2years old now.. by then she said that she moved in a different direction…But if this is her starting point.. Im AMPED for the finishing line..

    Never Say Never is HASSSS to be an major influence on this next album. The bridge does take me straight back.. 2.25 onwards is the BIsness.

    Brandy said a new Single is round the corner..so Im expecting even 10 times more than what we got on this track.. She knows what she to told and I have all faith in her!!!

  36. Bryan A. November 11, 2011

    THIS Songs needs to be on the New Album, its R& B but has a pop element to it. This track is DOPE. Her New Album is gon be Dope. cant wait.

  37. mILLHOUSE November 11, 2011

    idk AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESNT LIKE THIS SONG? It sounds like her old s*** she did on her last time… BRANDY!!!! this aint gona cut it if you’re looking for that big comeback that you want. Brandy you need a clubb banger, and this aint it!!!! I thought you said you were working with new people. This sound like some s*** from 09…. STOP NOW!!! I am Sooooo disappointed. I hope to GOD this is not the direction she is going in because mark my words, it will FLOP. Brandy you have too much talent for these underwhelming songs… Throw this in the Grabage and start over…. I am soo serious. She sounds great as usual but c’mon son, it sounds like the same old brandy, im kinda getting tired of her songsd having all of those harmonies and being so melodic ALL the time. it makes all her sh-it sound the same.

    Everyone on here who said they like the song probably wont even buy it. DOnt beleive the hype. Leak some more songs that are different. Brandy I am telling you, you need to come out REVAMPED completely. YOU need to come out like a Grown Ass Woman and your songs need to be bolder and more in your face….. and I need you to SAAAAAAAAAang. even if its over a hard ass beat…. New style , new producers, better writers. Brandy I love you so much, but your team is lying to you… You need to have listening sessions for random people off the street and see if they like your stuff, kinda like what Barry Gordy did with Motown…. Dont drop that album until u r sure you have a hit on your hands…. You keep leaking songs until one sticks and you run wit it…..I wish I worked for you, I would bring you back to the top where you belong

  38. Bran Star November 11, 2011

    @Millhouse

    I see you’re LATE as usual…This song is OLD, it was recorded two years ago back in 09…It just recently leaked…that’s all it is…a leak…

    It doesn’t reflect Brandy’s single or the material, or direction that she’s going in now. You need to get it together and stay updated…Sheesh…

  39. BRANDYALLDAWAY November 11, 2011

    Brandy has already said that her Album took another direction, so this track… is way old..
    She knows shes COMIN HARDER than this.. its a leak…. Now if it was HOW HIGH.. IT wAS FIRE AND THE RAIN CAME.. then Id b angry about the leak. and she switched direction from these songs..

    The Song is Good for showcasing her talent.. AS a Bran Fan, I know shes got somethin in the pipeline that is alot more radio friendly and chart appealing

  40. kwame November 11, 2011

    Hey guys, just save your breath for tis cuz this ain’t one of the album tracks in the least and she’s said it herself hence she playfully praising it.
    Love me some brandy though..lol

  41. b**** please November 11, 2011

    YES I KNOW FOR SURE THAT THIS ISN’T ON THE ALBUM CUZ WHEN BRAN DROPS ALL WILL CHANGE AND THERE WILL BE SURPRICE….. 🙂 🙂 🙂
    B**** GONE SLAY!!!!!!!!

  42. MONICAANDBRANDYSTAN November 11, 2011

    Yes Brandy slayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait for the new album to come.

  43. brandy fan from uk November 11, 2011

    I like the song but the way Brandy is taking i know there’s something going on means this has got nothing to do with the new album. 🙂

  44. BRANDY IS THE BAD B**** November 11, 2011

    THIS SONG IS GOOD BUT NOT A SINGLE MAJOR FOR BRAND COME BACK THOUGH. I KNOW IS JUST TEASING US WITH THIS ONE..LOL
    @MILLHOUSE I AGREE WITH YOU THOUGH
