For fans of R&B maestra Brandy, the wait for her new video ‘Put It Down’ has been intense to say the least.
The first clip in aid of her new LP ‘2/11′, the Chris Brown assisted piece got somewhat of an additional promo boost today- by way of exclusive info the ‘Drop Dead Diva’ star gave That Grape Juice.Net.
Her comments below…
On the clip she told us:
I wish I could tell you who’s directing it. It’s coming out in July and it’s going to epic, which is great because I haven’t had one of those while and it’ll be my first video in four years.
Can’t wait till it’s out!!!
When quizzed on rumors she was to perform at this year’s BET Awards, she answered with:
I would love to!
Everything’s up in the air right now but I would love to, I’ve never performed there but I’ve been twice and it’s great. I’ve got a good feeling about it.

Unfortunately the way the ‘POWERS THAT BE’ have things structured only those acts they deem “worthy” can put out a song one day and have a full fledged video with 4 teasers out by the next week. This is a new day folks things are simply different for certain artists especially non-Pop & non-Country artists!

Agreed! I think she’ll do it right this time though, mainly because she acknowledged her awkward / forced sex appeal (during the Afrodisiac era) in her behind the music episode. Go Brandy! It’s her time!

sorry, but it’s a bad comeback and i smell a flop in the making, even though i’m sure that it’s gonna be a hot album
she should have released the video and song simultaneously and top should have performed that damn song already
outside the blogosphere no one even knows she got a new song out…

Maybe it has to grow on me, kinda like “We found love” had to grow on me. I highly doubt Brandy can make a successful comeback at this stage in the game. Not being shady but how did that song with her and Monica do? Does it get air play?

Yes Monica album didn’t perform well however between the both of them Monica has been able to have a #1 song & #1 R&B album in the 2000s (2010 to be exact). Brandy last two albums didn’t perform well, she got dropped from her label and this new song that she has out hasn’t made any noise. Once she gets a hit or even an notable place on billboard, only then will we believe Brandy. She’s done basically. Monica “Non Singing”…WOW!! We don’t believe you…You need more people…

I love brandy but she released put it down too damn early. If you’re not going to have a video to release simultaneously with your new song, don’t even think about releasing the song till you have a video for it ready. The song, even though its hot, has lost a lot of its steam. It fell out of itunes just as fast as it entered it. Nobody really plays it. I know she was too excited but come on Brandy. You can’t release the lead single from your new album, release the video for it nearly 2 months later then release your new album over a month later. The industry has changed a lot and unless you get yo shit together real fast, then this era won’t be any better than your last 2.

IABTM didn’t chart well. Who would still bother to place it on an upcoming album when that slot can be filled with something more promising. Monica needs to be taken out this equation. She has nothing to do with Brandy’s project and if that single made it on Mo’s album it’s because Monica was much further along. Monica also chose to use that song as the “new lead” single to promote her album. I hope Bran selects another song over IABTM for her album(I know she recorded way more than the standard amount needed).

Brandy always talking like she has no control over the info in her album, like its slavery time and she can’t release any info for the fear that master will whip her. Smh, at this point if brandy was going to release the video threw months late she could have at least leaked a song…smh, Its very rare for an artist to be able to release only one video and one single and have a succeful album, and with Brandy not being active in the game i really don’t see how you guys can honestly believe that this wont be a flop…i won’t be suprised if she sales less than Basic Instinct at this point. I feel like all her shit is going to be rushed by the nearing of the albums release that, or it will get leaked. Can’t wait to see her excuses afterwards, as we learned from her Vh1 special Brandy can spin quit the tale…

The problem with STANS is their so busy trying to “play” (key word there) ride or die, that they’ll praise these artists for any sh*t song they release knowing damn well that sh*t is whack or won’t get past the Billboard bubbling under. “Yeah Brandy thats hot! “You go Brandy!!” “My girl about to snatch wigs!!” Then the album sales come out and single ain’t no where to be found… anywhere!! and THEN you got the excuses: “It was too early” “It leaked.” “The label didn’t promote her!” NO bi*tch, the sh*t was bad! STOP SETTING YOUR “FAVS” UP FOR FAILURE AND BE HONEST! Put it Down is AWFUL for a single OR an album cut for the level Brandy wants to be at and even USED to be at. And if you haven’t noticed, Chris Brown is NOT at a level were he can save anybody, including himself. Brandy I hope you read this cause I’m not one of those fans that’ll pat you on the ass for some bullshit, NEW SINGLE AND SCRAP THIS MESS. #SpeakTruth

You seem to take alot of this very personal. I think MOST Brandy fans are content with Brandy’s new sound. Her stans were delighted when it leaked on twitter because the single was something refreshing. No one is settling for anything. PID leaves a bad taste in your mouth. You may think it’s awful,but that’s your truth.
As far as I’m concerned the only “excuse” I have when it comes to Brandy’s previous eras is that the “Human” album didn’t feature enough urban tracks. I still think it’s a decent album, but the timing for that kind of music was off. That’s been my critique with Usher as well. I’m not pointing fingers because she recorded those songs, but that project wasn’t getting promotion either. That’s just the honest truth. Every album before that was incredible. I serious don’t doubt Brandy when it comes to her making great album. Her track record has more hits than misses.

That’s fine if some are feeling the single but that’s not the only factor that matters in this era of music. Brandy needs a single that’ll SELL and make it on the charts and get people who aren’t already fans interested. I was excited to see her back like everyone else, but again Brandy needs to release a single that’ll appeal to both radio and her audience (new and old) and PID ain’t it. No one is spinning this record and a video sure won’t save it. Brandy has to think both musically AND wisely when it comes to the business. Her next single needs to immediately be available for purchase and released to radio i.e. the new business model for singles.

I have a gut feeling Brandy will make a great comeback, she’s an incredible talent. With the right moves business wise, she can reclaim her status as a recording artist. Quality over quantity always wins in the end, it might not seem like it but she’s got her money already she’s good…now she needs to just make her spot in music history and continue her legacy. She is also a great actress I’d love to see her in a real drama again or musical not another horror movie though lol
