Brandy released her first album in 8 years last night. The 'Vocal Bible' discusses Broadway, her daughter and the creative freedom she's found with B7
The final product is Brandy Norwood at her purest: an eclectic mix of modern and classic R&B sounds strung together by her distinctive, powerful voice. As Brandy prepared for the release while self-isolating in Los Angeles with her family, she spoke with This is the longest between two albums for you in your career. When would you say that the process for this album started for you?
There were a lot of legal and personal issues over the last eight years that kept new music delayed. What was the original plan after? Were you planning on releasing a new album soon after, or did the issues need to be taken care of immediately? I had never felt so inspired the way I felt when I was on Broadway, I felt so free every night when I was performing. Just being able to feel my voice in that way, being able to feel a crowd in that way, it opened up a lot of dreams that I didn’t know I still had. From there, I started to go into the studio again and record. I released a few songs, just for the fun of it, just to feel the interaction with my fans. From there, I really wanted to create a body of work.
To be able take on a lot of the writing, it felt so natural for me because it felt like music for me was a way for me to just get so much out, so much of my story, so much of what I wanted to say. It just poured out of me so naturally, and I trusted it. I didn’t really think about “Is this song going to be a hit? Is it going to be this? Is it going to be that?” I just wanted to be honest, and I just wanted to see what it would be like to just write my own story.
So much fun! So exciting just to hear what she can do in the booth and how quick she is, and how her musicality is. She’s just so talented. I love the way our voices sound together. I love the way we blend. Just to hear her doing so many different harmonies, it’s like, “Wow, she’s really been listening! She’s really inspired!” This is something that she’s born to do.
I think it’s a little bit of both. I got a chance to experience things that I’d never dreamt of, and then everything that I ever dreamed of. But then also, I had to grow up in front of the public. I didn’t get a chance to make private mistakes and really discover my own voice without having to deal with everyone else’s voices and thoughts and opinions about the things that I was doing.
