Viewers of Brandy‘s hit VH1 reality show ‘A Family Business’ will recall the singer’s disdain for 2008’s ‘Human’ – her most recent studio album. However, in a new interview with OUT.com, the 30 year old elaborated on her dislike of the LP and its chart performance.
Her comments after the jump…
Via OUT.com:
Let’s talk about your most recent album, Human.
To hell with that album!Why? You didn’t like it?
I believe a lot of the songs on that album have inspired some of the fans. In that respect it’s a blessing. But, where I felt creatively it could’ve gone and the space I was in creatively, I needed everybody around me to be in that same space.What would you have liked out of that album?
First of all, it would’ve been a different album, but with the same inspiration and same blessing for other people. It would’ve been hotter music and a hotter look. Number 1 on the charts! Platinum!Which brings up a good point. Your career has slowed down over the years in terms of chart success. How does it feel when you’re no longer number 1?
It feels terrible. I say this in the most humble way, but I’m a winner. So, when a winner feels failure, it doesn’t feel right or good. It’s a like a champion who gets knocked out. That’s why I’m so hungry on making this next project about what feels good to my gut. When I follow my intuition or my creative guidance, there’s success.
Despite actually enjoying ‘Human’, I must give kudos where they’re due; it’s not often an artist displays such frankness – especially about their own project. One can only hope the stars align for her this time around.
