While ‘Put It Down’ put Brandy back on the map commercially, it was the track’s housing album ‘Two Eleven’ that truly marked the Grammy winner’s return in the eyes (and ears) of music lovers the world over.
One of the LP’s most talked about tracks is the Frank Ocean penned ‘Scared Of Beautiful’ - which the newly engaged singer was recorded rehearsing recently for a live show.

Okay who doesn’t know Brandy kills any and everything she sings?? Where the heck is the next single?? Release Do You Know now. Her manager sucks. I wish she would stop with the family management and get someone that can handle her. It’s very frustrating being a Brandy fan.

Yea it is very frustrating. But it’s not as if major management companies were knocking down her door before Put It Down hit #1.
Everything we’ve gotten from the Two Eleven project was a grass roots effort. I’m proud of the success she has received despite not having a major push behind her but she still deserves more.
Hopefully this album will allow her to align herself with a real manager with major connections so that the next album will be even bigger.

Well she’s on a label who’s CEO believes 500,000 is the new platinum, she must be doing well (for the label at least) so I cannot shade.
This is one of the stand out songs on Two Eleven, glad she’s giving it a chance.

She’s using the success of these shows to negotiate a tour backed by a major promoter. They have to see that people will show up to see her and they certainly are so far.
I’d say expect a tour sometime around April.

A simple critique.
January 6, 2013 at 7:05 pm
I don’t like the break she took between the album release and now. The album was released in October. Wildest dreams was suppose to be the second single, but it gets no radio play, little promotion, and the video could have been a lot better. Is this the third single? I like brandy but she lazy! She’s no where near as serious about her music career as she used to be. Relying on your label to promote your album, or call the next shot when you’re worth millions is just ridiculous. When her album flopped her fans made excuses instead of telling the truth, like waiting to the week of the albums release date to perform and make appearances on people show’s. Such a good album, but I’m afraid it may be too late…..

This is why I stan for her!
I can’t say it enough, this TwoEleven album is incredible. It’s filled with so many great songs that’s packed with emotion and meaning! I’m just pleased that Bran could deliver an album that can touch the work she’s done on her first three. Bottom line, I’m proud of Brandy! I care about sales, but I care way more about her reputation as an artist. As far as I’m concerned Bran is showing me great consistency (artistically speaking). She’s a real musical treasure. Btw, She looks really good!

I hope the label has not shut her album promo down because she is certainly due for a third single.
Brandy is an incredible vocalist. TGJ should post her live performance of Brokenhearted on BET from 1995. Classic!

I guess I missed the memo where “Put It Down” put Brandy back on the map. I don’t know what map that is, maybe a map to an old tomb buried under the sand where Brandy’s career is mummified in an old wooden casket.

The comments about Brandy’s looks are stupid! Brandy didn’t say her career was a model turned singer, and none the less her looks are between her and her fiance.
Anyway, back to the music. Not my fav track but as ever Brandy’s vocals are solid. Brandy is one of the only artists who’s albums to me have all been solid
