We’ve been spinning Brandy‘s ‘Put It Down (ft. Chris Brown)‘ here at That Grape Juice ever since it dropped last month. Hence, like many, we’ve been salivating for details on the track’s accompanying video.
Well, one needn’t wonder anymore. For, during a chat with our friends over at Kempire Radio, The Vocal Bible revealed that she has teamed up with the creative force behind Beyonce, Destiny’s Child, and En Vogue – Frank Gatson.
Listen to what she had to say about the hotly anticipated visual after the jump…
On the ‘Put It Down’ video:
Hailed for having a creative midas touch, Gatson’s involvement with the video has us amped that much more. For, beyond the above-mentioned acts, Gatson has also been instrumental in visually “evoking the essence of diva” in Kelly Rowland during her last project. Needless to say, then , it’ll be interesting to see what he and Brandy will cook up.
******
Tidbit: The R&B chauntese also talked about Britney Spears‘ judging role on the X Factor USA. Check out what she had to say below…
I love u bran bran. Lets make this video hot, cuz the song is mosdef not.
I actually love the song…and most of my friends do as well, it took a minute for me to digest it but now its my s***
me to. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Brandy wants Kelly Rowlands life….like she thinks she can be a better Kelly than Kelly.
Trying to have the s*** summer track of the year (didn’t work), the curly fro (didn’t suit her), Video with Frank (he didn’t do a great job for Kelly) and now X Factor (Kellys old job). Girl!
girl BYE. Brandy is releasing a summer single that sounds nothing like Motivation, like countless other artists. The song doesn’t even go for official adds until next week so who are you to say what is successful or not.
Second, Brandy’s curly look gave a completely different vibe than kelly’s, which was often too long. Plus she wore hair like that all the time when she represented Ultima around 2005.
Furthermore, Brandy actually worked with Frank for the first video of the Afrodisiac era, however the song was changed when Kanye came aboard. She did America’s Got Talent way before Kelly was even out of that black and red mushroom bob wig. Judging a talent show is always the same – Been there, done that.
@Seriously, Surely you must be a comedian. When Kelly Rowland ups her album sales to B. Rocka status, THEN come talk to us until then, have a seat under the bus.
Seriously are you talking about the same kelly rowland that used to be Beyonce back up singer??? B**** bye…>>>>>>>>
Y’all act like Brandy was on some Whitney/Mariah sales level b****** please Brandy only had one real mulit-platinum album “Never Say Never” and she has been flopping ever since so Kelly doesnt have to do much to outsell her nowadays…y’all Brandy b****** are stuck on her 1998 era that has been over just like Toni Braxton’s non-existant career
OPinion are just like Asses eveybody has one>>>>>>But reading some of the comments I just wanna say if you are not a Fan of Brandy that’s cool!!! But to try and down her and say what you think she is thinking and doing is wrong ! Time is to short to be such a hater! I am a fan and it is true at such a young age Brandy accomplished alot at 15!!!! Her first Album sold good and yes Never Say Never was a killer album. Fullmoon was great as well, and the funny thing is you little ppl on her talking about album sells!!!!!!, No one buys albums anymore! After the first one, hell ask Nicki! But to get to my Point!!!! Brandy could’ve lost herself like everybody else who started out so young! I think she almost did, luckly her mom stop all that!!! Now she back for a comeback and I know that exactly what it is you can tell that if you are watching and viewing what’s really going on! Talking about what she did with Monica, shyt we all know that yes Monica can sing and she is beautiful, but she is not A Brandy and I am just stating the visible facts. ON the Promo for IABTM, they really tried to play Brandy, because she Upstage Mo so hard! Brandy is an entertainer!!!! Go back and watch her old YOUTUBE Clips!!!She’s been singing and dancing!!I am not about allow that give the girl her points! Vocally everybody know Brandy can do it! She is in the ppl eye this quarter she is not a little girl anymore!!!! She was a child icon and know she back to give it hard to you!!!! Brandy is no Fake, her Monica never planned a tour, go back and listen to interview Please listen they talked about it but nothing was official please listen damn it! Monica is not mad at Brandy for stating the truth, How can they tour and Brandy doesn’t even have a album out besides the old ones. StOp make up shyt!!!! SHADY1 you gotta be a joke>>Monica never beat Brandy up, and you are a hater and stupid and childish Cut it out it aint cute>>>PPL look at you Stupid don’t they LOL!!!!!!!Ok I laugh at you!!!!!! And if Brandy can’t sell albums then niether can MO!!!!!!!Not downing Monica or anything just saying the truth!!!!! The Point is this that the New Brandy aint playing or holding back, she wants everything!!!!!!!!Great Job Brandy and Shout out to Mo!!!!!! What Brandy wants Kelly Rowlands lIfe B**** jump of a cliff>>Kelly Rowland has no wind vocally for Brandy and for you to try and disrepect their Friendship is horrible of you STUPID>>Brandy and Kelly can’t be compared Stop that!!!!! HATERs Kill me!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmYnLxf97uQ Jerel new single “Got 2 Work” check it out
Why do TGJ call her the. “Vocal bible” ? No shade
I’ve been wondering that for the longest………………
because a host of celebrities gave her that name… smh people may not appreciate the sound of her gift but her technique is on point
WOW, B looks amazing in that blue dress! Get it girl, I can’t wai to see the visuals for “Put I Down”!
She will also return for an additional season of The Game. B is getting back to business! Glad to see it! 🙂
She sure does. 🙂
The song is GARBAGE. And this Frank dude works with Bey correct? Meaning Brandy will have to DANCE in this vid correct?………..Yall dont see the problem?
Just because Frank has worked with artists that dance, doesn’t necessarily mean Brandy is going to have to dance. So no, no problem here.
What problem are you referring to then, B****???
1.) Brandy learned to dance on Dancing with the Stars.
2) Frank wanted to work with her again , he said in an interview on this site years ago “2 I think she just realized her potential on Dancing With The Stars, but I could help bring it to her music career. She has to dismiss all fear and then she will be amazing. She has always had great music and the talent. She just needs the right direction.”
3) Beyonce learned to dance. She was not natural and still only incorporates hips and some fancy footwork occassionally. Don’t act like she’s Janet, Michael, Gene Kelly, or Rosie Perez
So of you are hilarious. Poor Brandy but as old R&B stars move from an era when they were fierce to all this watered down crap – I’m not really feeling any of them any more.
Great artist and shes looking great and sounding just as great.
I Love Brandy i really do… but i hate how people think that singing higher means that you sing better…Brandy’s technique, control, and tone is so unearthly and unique but people dont give her the credit she deserves… its sad… ive never heard a tone as pure as hers but because she a true alto she cant sing as good as everyone else? CHILD BYE ugh… if anyone else wont support you miss Brandy i deff. WILL
That’s because they don’t know anything about singing
Yess Stephen please school these people!
true
1. Tgj and many others call brandy the vocal bible coz she does things wit her voycyo fav can only wish to-adlibs and harmonies-yes she qualifies to be called that.
2. She can pull a dance move-chec DWTS. So working wit Gatson shld not be a surprise.
3. Put it down is a wonderful song, so i think its gonna do well.
4. Basic Bitter Bitchies need to suck their thumbs and curl their asses in a corner.
Loving the song so much but wished Chis Brown wasn’t on it cuz he does nothing to it. 🙁
Oh lord. Brandy worked with Frank Gatson before Kelly & BEYONCE. She worked with him for her very first video “I WANNA BE DOWN” and “Baby”. Y’all misinform idiots are so quick to hate but don’t know absolutely nothing.
Anyways, Brandy is about show out and do her thang!!!
Haven’t heard the song yet but I’m a fan of Brandy. The real reason why she pull out from touring with Monica I’ll like to know. I’ll like to see what Frank is working on to help her with the song. We all know that Micheal was a beast, Beyonce is a beast, Usher is a beast, lets see how him working with Brandy will fan out.
All you need to do is support Brandy to like you should if you are a fun as you claim to be. Whatever happened is between Brandy and Monica so leave it out and concentrate on supporting her. I wonder how you claim to be a fun and still haven’t heard the song yet….smh
First and foremost we will never get the TRUTH from Brandy about why she pulled out. You know she lied mostly all her career. Anyway I am glad they not on tour together cause I would have to f*** one of those starz up!
She probably nixed that idea because Monica is settling down into being a wife and mother who does one style of r&b , a few videos and interviews then relaxes. She lived young and free as a t***.
Brandy is living her “second life” so to speak. She’s fresh, confident, and youtthful. When Monica was “miss thang”, the sassy t*** rolling with gangsta rappers, Brandy was the bubbly face of barbie and she lost that when she tried to be a conservative adult too soon with her music better sutied for Celine Dion then a young r&b pop diva.
She wanted to work with Monica for years when they were both doing gold albums years ago but only after no strong singles on Monica’s new album (which I think is better then people say), she came to Brandy to get the “Monica and Brandy” buzz that led to interviews, covers, and press and performances Monica had never garnered on her name alone. And I think Brandy just wised up to the fact that touring with Monica might date her (same reason Jay Z and Outkast refuse to do tribute shows to older artists …they don’t want it to make this seem out of touch with the now)
No harm done, they should do that when they are 40
..Just like Toni Braxton should link up with someone now. She had a tour date with Babyface….more of that
Im actually grateful brandy is coming back. She is such a gifted vocalist and her music is on point PID took a good minute to grow on me. But the beat on that song is what won me over not to mention the great vocals and harmonies. If brandy can succeed this era beyonce might get competition. Brandy one of the only few that can measure up to Bey’s talent cuz Rihanna and all these others certainly can’t. Let’s hear it for b rocka. I’m certainly going to support her this era!
Brandy is not a performer, nor a chart topper, so I don’t see how she will be able to compete with anyone.
Brandy has always been a better vocalist than Beyonce
Ugh B**** think before you post anything about Brandy before you get checked!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did say “might”
What’s the s*** about she’s “not a performer” nor entertainer? That’s b*******. Whitney IS one of the best performers ever. Vocals have a great deal to do with being a performer. Performing isn’t all about dancing, a performer doesn’t even need to dance, so long as he or she can sing properly live(and Brandy can, therefore she IS a performer)
@Stephen Brandy is NO Whitney lol, she aint even Monica, when was her best live vocal performance (that i obviously missed) on youtube?
Frank has worked with Brandy back in the day… I hope it is what Brandy needs… Frank is smart.. I bet it will be unexpected..
Can’it wait! 🙂
It’s giving me “Big Hoops (Bigger the Better)” T’s. 3 people think the song is hott and it’s NOTT and the single is a flop the day after it premiered. Nobody is here for this
Jer B**** have a f****** seat cuz you’re boring me.
I don’t know how I feel about this…
The song is tanking on the radio and I’m sure her fans will say it’s because of “lack of promo”
I honestly don’t think the song has “hit” potential. It is not the type of song that Brandy needs to be pushing her new image. She is NOT a performer, dancer, or entertainer…. Brandy is known for her vocals and ballads. TBQFH I think Brandy needs to hang it up flatscreen and just be grateful she has achieved as much success as she has. One flop after another (See Afrodiasiac and Human)…. I really think she just needs to let it go. The world is not here for Brandy, and has not been since about 1999.
As far as her trying getting “Frank Gatston” … I”m not surprised. Brandy has been reaching for the stars to become relevant for a while now. I can only hope that after this album plummets (I’m already predicting first week sales of 60k), that she is not suicidal. I watched a “Making of the album” video she made early last year and she pretty much said that if this new projects fails that she is done.
Brandy if you are reading this. Focus on raising your daughter and take some volunteer behind the wheel lessons at your local driving school.
Basically.
I judge flop, B**** you ain’t God so don’t f****** say things you have no clue it will happened. Concentrate on living in your pathetic little life and let Brandy be cuz she is here to stay for a very long time to come whether you and your deranged gangs likes it or not. B**** bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She’s not gonna hang anything up. She’s staying true to her craft. And she still has fans that love her for that. If by performer you mean dancer, that may be true but her gift is her voice and her stage prescene shows that. I’m sure ppl are only skeptical about r&b artists becuz r&b is not big as it use to be.
I’m not skeptical about R&B artists i’m skeptical about Brandy, when was her last performance, does she have any memorable ones?
You obviously don’t know the meaning of performer
EVERYBODY WHO @ ME.
ANSWER 1 QUESTION.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME BRANDY HAD A #1 ALBUM OR SINGLE ?
OR WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME SHE HAD A GOLD ALBUM.
TRUST ME I HAVE NO PROBLEM WAITING.
She got in one car accident, where other cars slowed and the victim crashed into her. Not the other way around, so she doesn’t need lessons.
The fact that you ended with a “joke” like that showed your intention of posting about Brandy was only to get to that punchline.
She doesn’t make music for you. She makes music because she’s gifted and if only 4,000 people buy it, then it’s for those 4 ,000 people and you can ignore it. No one should quit their love and passion to please other people who want them to give up/
You’ve never been to a Brandy concert. You don’t know her level of performance or what she’s capable of.
If people can be entertained by Nicki Minaj pulling faces and Rihanna trippin on stage with their songs about not much really, then Brandy , given the same platform, and a stage with all the lights , costumes, and design of today then she’s on the same playing field.
My goodness the shade, Brandy keep doing your thing you got’em talking good or bad your name is at the tip of their tongues. Love the single and I know youre gonna bring it on the video keep coming for these b*tches throats!!!!!!!!!! She’s out for blood this era and im not mad at her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IKR? Some of these ignorant twat gets me ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!
Ok first of all read it it does not say she was going to do.x factor and brandy has been doing the curly wigs. And all other styles since she came out those micros get ya life and her stars and other artist consider her to be the vocal bible also producers get your facts straight and yes my B**** is listen to all her albums and u will no it trust I studied her craft
Why all these b****** are overanaylizing everything?!
Brandy said the song will drop OFFICIALLY on Tuesday 5th.
Talkin about tank, flop when the song is not even released yet.
Dang! Brandy is slaying that blue dress! She looks Good! Judging by everything we’ve saw so far from Brandy this era! I think its safe to say, Brandy is going the shock and awe route. Cant wait to see the video! I luv Franks work! He’s the one that brought Kelly Rowland bac! Welcome bac B Rocka!
Don’t have time for this drama! Bring on the album & let’s just talk numbers then!
Tired of hearing about Bran supposedly wanting to live someone else’s life that she’s inspired (Kelly, Dawn, etc).
Brandy Rayana Norwood >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You can shade kelly all u like,you can call her a flop but it does’nt change da fact that brandy is copying kelly down to a T.swagger jagging.what is next a group of s*** backup dancers,darkroom,s*** scenes in a video!a woman objectify men for a change.kelly already has that on lock brandy.don’t imitate your friend.I love you tho
Kelly doesn’t have a career worth copying. No tea or shade, but lets not act like Kelly blew up last year or that her album sold hella units. Hell, kelly doesn’t even seem to try. She just sits back and watches her s*** flop, like she’s happy about it. Brandy may be desperate, but at least the girl is ambitious. She tries to hard, but I’d rather a person who tries to hard than a person who doesn’t try at all.
I just dont see why ppl hate so much, If yall listened to the interview you will know she said its a performance video. Yea, Brandy might not be a true dancer, but its a new Brandy, so why cant she dance in her video. She’s danced in previous videos before. I think what ppl are missing is that Brandy has a shot to prove to her TRUE fans that she’s back and she aint going no where. All this ish about comparing artist to another artist is just cray to me. What ppl fail to realize is that the ppl are the ones who cause artist not to like each other and beef starts from there. I am a TRUE fan of Brandy, but at the same time i like other artist as well, i just choose to listen to her music cause for me she expresses her feelings and thoughts in her music. She is an artist who believes that you can speak things to existence, and singing makes it faster. Brandy has come out of her shell and i love her for putting it down. As i bring this to a close, all i wanna say is “2/Eleven is dedicated to the one in heaven”
Brandy is going to kill ’em this next album…literally lmao…lets take a moment of silence for the family who lost their mom because of this alien looking b****.
Its funny that Brandy fans say “Have a seat under the bus” dont you mean “Have a seat under her SUV” lmao
Whos the realest killa Rick Ross or Brandy? Brandy and Snoop Dogg are teaming up on “Murder Was The Case 2012” on her album lmao
Brandy is fake when Monica’s album tanked she pulled out of the tour with her as if her album is gonna do any better lol….she is probably just mad that Monica made a point that alluded to her whuppin’ Brandy’s ass back in 98 lol sorry Brandy truth hurts–what can Brandy do?–she cant sell albums, cant drive a car properly and obviously cant fight lol
The only things that need to be put down Brandy is the car keys and that twinkie in your daughter’s mouth.
Well I’m rooting for her. My only issue with Brandy is that she gives up too easily on her projects. I understand she wants success, but she needs to stand 100% behind her craft (whether it flops or not) and stop downing herself. Brandy career is the way it because she always worried more about what people think rather than her own feelings(it’s crazy how unconfidence she is considering all those rumors about her being shady and bitchy).
OPinion are just like Asses eveybody has one>>>>>>But reading some of the comments I just wanna say if you are not a Fan of Brandy that’s cool!!!

S/O to the #STARZ ! For the person that said Brandy only had “NSN” as a hit album you clearly are not a fan so please STFU! Brandy’s debut album went quadruple platinum and “NSN” went Quintuple platinum so check the facts and for the rest of you hatin asses ya’ll are so brainwashed by this crap that’s out now ya’ll don’t even know real music so with that, kick rocks with an opened toed shoe in my Brandy voice! #TEAMBRANDY 4ever
Judging by the comments on hear I can tell that a lot of y’all are really young. At the age of 15 Brandy was killing the game she has had several platinum albums, her own doll, her own TV Show (Moesha) starred in Cinderella with Whitney Houston, Double Platinum with Diana Ross, etc. The girl has had quite a career and yes her last few albums did not do so well but so what! She’s back and I think she will do well. Whoever is comparing her to Kelly Rolwand please don’t make me laugh, Kelly is nothing more that Beyonce’s back up singer.
