Classic Flashback: Brandy – “I Wanna Be Down (Remix)”

Written by The IPS in Blogs, Videos on Jan 29, 10
I used to know all the rap parts to this song HAHA. I loved it. MC Lyte has always been a favorite female MC of mine, one that I haven’t been jamming lately. I need to rectify that. And YoYo is SO fine, she still look good too LOL. I remember when she was on that “VH1 Hip-Hop Honors” a couple of years ago — she was a little thicker but she still looked great. Her verse was my favorite.

In hindsight, the lyrics were slightly risque LOL. Back then. But not really. I guess I just never really realized/thought about some of what they were saying. Just listen to it again LOL!

90’s music — they.just.don’t.do.it.like.this.anymore. And Brandy still sounds great ROFL. You know we are Team Brandy over here…#jutsaying.

“Take The Club Ova” Feat. Schife

Kevin Cossom is a songwriter taking his turn at stepping up to the mic as a singer. He’s been featured as a writer on many joints (Keri Hilson, Rick Ross, Ace Hood) and is signed to DanjaHandz AKA Danja’s label imprint with Jive. This free project is being offered as a prequel to his solo joint set to drop next year.

While he’s not breaking any vocal ground as a singer, he has a couple of hot joints. The singing gets a bit repetitive though, but a couple of joints are hot. I’ve put them above for you to check out. Overall, it’s a good listen if you have nothing else to do. I think Kevin could end up with something interesting though in the end if he veers away from tepid R&B topics, cliches and producers. The album peters out eventually but has a few bright spots. And it’s free!

More after the jump!

Random Videos: @4EverBrandy’s (Brandy) Impromptu Rainbow Rendition

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Oct 2, 09
Sitting here minding my business on a Friday night (hey, it’s a recession and the temperature dropped!) and what do I see but Brandy tweeting she’s dropped a random video on Youtube of her singing “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” in her bathroom…sans makeup…ugly faces…and the wrong lyrics.

Despite her disclaimer I clicked…and you know what, who cares. Girl sounds dope! She even does a few rotations to check out the acoustics in her bathroom LOL.

Is this a subconcious response to Jennifer Hudson’s version that I JUST posted? Probably not, but it’s fun to think about it.

If you missed our Brandy “Duets” post a couple of days ago, check that out. And there’s lots of Brandy leaks floating around this here blog.

Sang B-Rocka…don’t care what no one says though, Brandy STILL has got the vocal chops to go up against any of these young “performers” (not singers) out right now…yet…she has no label deal. Though reverting to the good ole days of Youtube covers is a bit low-budget in a way, but I won’t go there. No shade! SHE GOT ME OVER DAT RAINBOW TONIGHT!

Brandy: The Duets Are Killing Lately!

Written by The IPS in Blogs, New Music & Reviews on Sep 29, 09
A lot of OLD & NEW Brandy music has been lately from Camp Norwood. I’ve posted some here on Tha Feedback, but one consistent thing I can say about Brandy lately is this:

All the duets she’s had lately have been A+! Vocally, Brandy is still a monster. Her voice has preserved well over her 16-year musical career, real talk. I’m a Brandy stan, ya’ll know this, but I can step away from that long enough to recognize real musical talent and longevity when I see it.

While her last album Human fared well with the critics, it was a largely introspective affair that didn’t connect with all but the most hardcore fans. Nothing was wrong with it musically, but it came off across as Brandy’s musical therapy more than it did as a reach across the mainstream spectrum to please her fans. With no label deal being announced though, no one knows the current status of her recording career.

However, that being said, I’m featuring 3 of the latest duets she’s done that stay in constant play around these parts — her crazy duet with John Legend, “Quickly”; her duet with Ginuwine on “Bridge to Love”; and lastly her just leaked duet with Ne-Yo “Goodnight, Good Morning”.

Give the links a second to load, and if by chance they don’t, check out the DL link directly.

Which do you like the best? Take our poll! Personally, I’m not a fan of Ne-Yo’s vocals so this new one does nothing for me, but B-Rocka kills. I think my favorite is John Legend’s “Quickly”!
Which of these Brandy duets do you like the most?

"Quickly" with John Legend

"Bridge to Love" with Ginuwine

"Goodnight, Good Morning" with Ne-Yo

New Music: Brandy, Amerie & Aion Clarke

Written by The IPS in New Music & Reviews on Sep 24, 09
Brandy – “Slow Love” [Listen + Download]
“Tell ‘Em” [Listen + Download]

Some new Brandy has leaked to the nets…she needs to start taking her tapes with her when she leaves the studio, seriously! Someone needs to throw together a bootleg B-Rocka album collection of all her leaks. “Slow Love” is much better than “Tell ‘Em”. “Slow Love” sounds like something that could actually be released, and “Tell ‘Em” sounds like a bonus cut that no one would really care about. Or one she gives away to be on a soundtrack. She sounds good vocally though as usual.

Amerie – “Pretty Brown Eyes” Feat. Trey Songz [Listen + Download]

This song leaked a hot second ago, but I just wasn’t FEELING IT too tough like a lot of other bloggers were. I mean, it flips a classic Mint Condition song. It’s not bad, but two weak-to-fair middling vocalists on a track to me is not my idea of a good time.

However, it’s a lot stronger than a lot of the other songs that Amerie’s put out lately. And honestly, they should hurry this out as a single. A lot of eye candy as Trey Songz and Amerie are both lookers. Good crossover potential. Nice “update” of a classic. It’s light enough that neither of their voices sound bad over the instrumental. So…someone get on that.

Aion Clarke – “Do You Right”

Producer B. Michael Cox put this joint up on his Twitter yesterday and I thought I’d check it out. I’m a fan of most of his work. Apparently, Aion Clarke is the songwriter who used to be known as Voyce Alexander, and he’s of course tossing his hat into the artist ring.

He reminds me of another never released ATL artist Q. Amey. He had this joint I loved called “Forever Girl” — I wonder what happened to him? Anyway, Aion has a great voice. Nothing to set him apart from the crowded field of other R&B singers though. What do ya’ll think?

Megan Rochell – “Betcha” [Download]

There’s a new Brandy track floating around called “Bet You Didn’t Know”. Rumored to be left off the Human sessions. It’s actually been recorded previously though by an artist who’s Def Jam project You, Me and the Radio was shelved, under the title “Betcha”. She actually had a really decent first single that I liked. Her name was Megan Rochell. Her first single/video was for her song “The One You Need” and it featured Fabolous.

Check out the two versions above (almost identical if you ask me) and peep Megan Rochell’s video for “The One You Need” after the jump!

Live Performances: Brandy Kills It In London

Written by The IPS in Blogs on May 8, 09
Check out this clip from London’s Indigo2. She murders an intro, “Afrodisiac” and “Who Is She 2 U” all while looking great.

Spotted at That Grape Juice. She sounds so mellifluous and flawless man, I swear. Her voice is smooth as butter!

We support good singers! LOL.

Brandy…*sigh*…Live Performance from “Today Show” of Right Here (Departed)

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Dec 5, 08
Wow, this performance is so bland.

And they slowed the song down EVER MORE.

Case in point — I’m chillin’ at mom’s house (free wi-fi and food, you hatin’?) and she walked by randomly and was like, “Umm I don’t like that. I liked her singing better when she was a baby.” ROFL

That’s what I am saying, if you aren’t really a Brandy STAN, I don’t think this is the album you will buy to get introduced. I have a theory — there are some songs you sing and write for others and some that you sing and write for yourself. I am starting to feel like for Brandy, this album and it’s material falls into the latter and not the former.

But this performance is just so…yikes. I didn’t even want to watch it to the end. Talk about phoned in…band, backgrounds, lead vocals and all.

Video Review: Brandy – “Long Distance”

Written by The IPS in Videos on Dec 2, 08
Hmmm…

I can tell that Brandy is trying to portray a more grown-up, emotionally mature image with this album. Her choice of songs and video visuals are obviously relaying that desire. This video, while very artistic and visually engaging with how it unfolds…left me struggling to put all the visuals together into a storyline.

Individual, I understand what she was trying to do, I think. I always wish music videos that aren’t obviously literal came with some kind of description. Give us a peek into your mind, instead of making us “guess” what you were trying to get across. Or just be abstract.

However, this song while lush and operatic and all things power ballad exemplifies what is wrong with Brandy’s album. Ya’ll, it’s kind of boring. There are about 2-3 songs I love. It’s not bad, but sonically it kind of goes nowhere. This song is the same…it’s almost soft-rockish in it’s power-balladness (wow @ that sentence ending, right?).

Not bad, but I don’t think it will appeal to large amounts of people — it’s definitely not a “pop” song in that it appeals to a massive amount of people. And that’s what Brandy needs. All of her songs and singles so far have been very niche-ish and targeted I believe…we’ll see what happens…

Live Performance: Brandy Performs “Right Here (Departed)” On TRL

Written by The IPS in Videos on Oct 29, 08
Brandy thinks she is slick, dropping that song down a couple of keys to make it lower and hence, easier for her to sound good. I think this is one of the first times I can remember Brandy cheating like that! :(

However, she sounds decent still. Even though I had a songwriting session the other day with my friend and we were listening to some music for inspiration, and we flipped on the Brandy song. We started talking about the Brandy song and video and both were still sitting there thinking “What is this song about?!!?” Sure, I know what it’s about, but really….WHAT IS IT ABOUT?!

Is she an angel? A bad case of the flu? The runs? Who knows.

What I don’t know is if we will ever see this album as soon as we thought we would…cause “Right Here” really isn’t moving up the charts and into the conciousness of America like I feel a Brandy song should!
