Yes ladies and gents, Aries here, and we all know i stand for the B that is Rocka like there is no tomorrow. And i can't help but wonder why exactly has she not managed to score a hit in forever. I mean she's one of the most respected female artist in the game, and everyone seems to stan for her secretly, but when its time to show and prove, she always falls below the mark.
"Human" makes the second time this millenium a Brandy album seemed to go right over people's heads ("afrodisiac" being the first), even with Rodney back on her side it seems she doesn't have that same affect she used to. With recent reports that she is now being managed exclusively by Jay-Z and his Roc Nation imprint, i find myself seriously hoping that he can do for her career as he manged to do for acts like Kanye, Rihanna, Ne-Yo, and Jeezy. But can she really be saved? Or is she just wayyyy past her time??
I think she's still got it in her...check out some recent perfomance from a live show she did awhile back in Reno
She still gotta swagga on stage,and the vocal game is on point as always. Maybe she just need a new imagine? Perhapes a new sound?
Honestly i think she's fine the way she is. I believe "Human" can be saved.
Like Most Brandy albums this one has got a few gems on it that could be huge if given the right push. I feel the first go out with singles "Right Here (Departed)" and "Long Distance" didn't fair well because lets be honest, Brandy's a R&B singer. She can't just go all Pop and Contemporary on us and expect people to make the move with her. And the promotion wasn't bad, but it could have been better. She needed a stronger push.
This go round if they decide to continue with this album, they got to come alot harder. Give fans the music they want to hear, and show Brandy at her best. Give people a single like "True" to help bring in the R&B fans, and then hit em with something like "Fall" to promote on the Pop side. Start using her web videos for more than just little updates here and there. Show the people what they really want to see. Brandy in the studio, at rehearsal, behind the scenes at photoshoots, music videos, etc. No room for mistakes this time around for sure.
Only time will tell if Brandy is still built to climb the charts, or if she's officially washed out. With so many acts just falling off the face of the earth, and other struggling so hard to remain relevant, only those truely deserving will continue to ride at the top. Hope B Rocka is one of them.
THOUGHTS?? DO YOU THINK SHE'S STILL GOT IT??
