Somebody on my DList just posted a bulletin about this, the first new music from Brandy since her totally dull Talk About Our Love era four years ago.
While I can’t say I like everything she’s done–giving birth on MTV, putting Kanye West on the lead track to her last album, accidentally killing somebody, judging America’s Got Talent, and so forth–she’s had a lot of my favorite R&B songs of the last dozen or so years: I Wanna Be Down, Sittin’ Up In My Room, The Boy Is Mine, What About Us?, Full Moon… They’re so good I’ll even forgive her for doing that Another Day In Paradise cover with her dumb brother.
As for the new track, I think I like it. It sounds a little too Timbaland-assisted to be really exciting, but I like that she’s got back some of the pizzazz that she was lacking in 2004. I’ve only listened to it once, and only on my crappy work speakers that have no bass, so I’ll reserve opinion until later today. But woo, new Brandy!
Here’s the linky-poo.
