This week brings with it the eagerly-awaited return of Brandy, who will unleash her seventh studio album ‘B7’ on Friday July 31st.
The ‘Baby Mama’ led LP looks set to quench the thirst of fans, who last hit play on a project by the GRAMMY-winner in 2012.
Ever candid, the Vocal Bible has been open about the hurdles and hardships faced in the eight years that followed the critically-acclaimed ‘Two Eleven.’ With one of the most notable being the fall-out with her former record label; a legal wrangle that left her unable to release music for an excruciating spell of time.
With that drama in rearview, last year saw the songbird hatch liberation anthem ‘Freedom Rings’ to trumpet her comeback.
Now, she’s taking flight to new creative heights on her latest body of work.
Comprised of 15-tracks, ‘B7’ sees Brandy – for the first time in her illustrious career – cowrite on every song featured.
Shaped by hitmakers such as DJ Camper, Hit-Boy, and the late and loved LaShawn Daniels, ‘B7’ is an effort B-Rocka bills as her most personal offering yet.
That Grape Juice was privy to an early listen of the entire album and echo said sentiments.
