Brandy preps her second single from her forthcoming project, Human. This is the follow-up to the rising “Right Here (Departed).” As usually, I love what Brandy is doing vocally on the Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins-produced single, it is a very beautiful, powerful song, but I’m not sure how I feel about this for Brandy’s second single. I don’t know that I could hear this on urban radio outlets, no matter how wonderfully crafted it is.
In any event, it was reported that Brandy’s album was being pushed back to December 9th. It’s original date was November 11th.
Check out Brandy on MySpace for more information of Human and keep it lockd to CL!
Her voice is amazing the thing she can do with it are out of this world
ONCE AGAIN BRANDY KILLS IT VOCALLY AND HITS ALL THOSE CRAZY RUNS. THIS IS REAL MUSIC AND SHE IS A REAL ARTIST. IF THIS ISN”T A HIT I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
I like it! GO BRANDY
I LOVE IT!!!!!! IT SHOULD BECOME A BIG HIT IF NOT THEN THE AMERICAN PUBLIC JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO TAKE BRANDY…..BRANDY WAS THE QUEEN IN THE LATE 90′S AND NO ONE CAN DENY IT! WE NEED TO EMBRACE HER MUSIC AND FALL IN LOVE WITH HER ALL OVER AGAIN….I KNOW “HUMAN” WILL BE A GREAT ALBUM, BUT I WORRY THAT POP/R&B WONT WELCOME BRANDY BACK, LIKE THEY SHOULD……BUT BRAN IS A ESTABLISHED ARTIST AND SHE’LL ALWAYS HAVE A PLACE IN THE INDUSTRY REGARDLESS…..POINT BLANK, PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT…..YOUR REAL FANS LOVE YOU BRANDY!!!!
OMG!!!! I’m loving the fact that she is not giving into what radio wants right now. She staying true to what Brandy likes to do, make true music. Damn. I’m a very happy Brandy fan. At first I was thinking this would’ve been hott with a Brian Michael Cox-esque beat behind it to be good for radio but I thought about it and nobody is really doing this anymore. Refreshing. Thank you Brandy. Her and Robin Thicke should duet. I’m excited. We better make this chick go Diamond. This is honestly what we need on the outlets right now. Inspirational music that makes you think.
brandy is a vocal lerasis and cant no body thats out now touch her on them runs
people like carl thomas and tyrese will tell you they studied some of her tracks 2 try and mimic her vocals hell even i try..lmao
gud look B’……..U DIID GOOD!
#34 i agree with you totally…i think i turned on the radio yesturday on my mp3 player and instantly was annoyed…other then that i cant remember the last time i listened to the replay…i mean radio lol…i swear they replay the same shit every hour on the hour.
I love the song….i think it would do pretty well on radio…frankly though as long as i get to download it on to my mp3 i could care less…….i hope she sells millions dont get me wrong….but the real fans will support bran and there will be nothing radio can do to stop that.
and i agree this takes me back to the “have you ever” days…brandy always brings the unique approach to her music and it has always pretty much worked for her,it was when she decided to be a lil more urban (what about us, who is she to you) that she got lost…when shes doin her then it fits
“angel in disguise” “almost doesnt count” “full moon” “have you ever” all those songs were different in their time and they were still hits..
beautiful song, excellent vocal, crisp and perfect. . . . Brandy’s back. ..
wow I can relate to this song so much and I love brandy by the way;can’t wait for the cd to come out
@ 68 yeah your so right. Thats why Monica is so good. She does so well on urban side. But this is simply amazing! I love this better then Beyonce’s If I Were A Boy/Like A Boy. Brandy is Singing and not SCREAMING over a track. Thank GOD! If this doesnt get good reviews and become a huge success. They let pop bubble gum music like Britneys and others continue take over. Im so done with the music indusrty like others have said! This is def. another hit like Have You Ever! I can just visual an orchestra and just peace love and serenity! lol
I am LOVING this song sooooooo much. I think it’d be perfect as Brandy’s second single and I can definitely see it being a hit if people would give her a chance. The musicality of the song reminds me of Jennifer Hudson’s “If This Isn’t Love” off her album, but both songs are truly beautiful. This song is amazingggggg. I loves Brandy!
If you don’t like this song I can’t be mad but you’re obviously no music lover..This song touches you even if you’re not going through what she is singing about..All she needs is a banging ass video and I know this song will have everyone focused on her…The vocals are there..The emotion is there.The beat and everything else is there..She needs to perform this as much as she can and this will surely get to number 1
the song is perfect for the holidays. period.
i could see this song being everywhere…
plus — who can’t relate to someone being far away from them?
especially with the troops
This is a beautiful song but I doubt her record label will even let her release this as a second single…they’l probably change the single at the last minute. Regardless, I am going to buy Human whenever it comes out. I know this is random but I can see Jermaine Dupri producing a nice midtempo beat to this for a remix…
@ 51
LMFAO HAHAHAHHAHAH.
you soo right but seriously this song is good. had me teared up. meaningful song. love Brandy. still LMFAO
I can relate to this song….awwww my girl Brandy is awesome!!!!!!!!!!! simply BEAUTIFUL
I hope Brandy works with Kanye again. I can’t wait to buy her album.
I like it! For some odd reason it has a 80′s rock ballad feel to it. I just hope if she releases a video for it it’s not boring like the other one she just released.
brandy is legendARY IF YOU LUV REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL MUSIC GO BUY THE GO VOTE ONTHE COUNTDOWNS AND REQUEST THE SONGS SHOW HER THE LOVE SHE DESERVES
Brandy as your number 1 fan baby you did it and not to be in touch with my emotional side on nothing but this song almost made me think about my old girlfriend and how we are long distance. I will and will always support you Bran Brand 12/9/08 I can’t wait
If Alicia Keys released this same song people would be calling it the second coming. Brandy absolutely, positively KILLED it. If radio doesn’t like it we know why…and it ain’t got nothing to do with Ms. Norwood. She did her part: delivered an AMAZING VOCAL PERFORMANCE like no other! I mean really, the acapella version of this song says it all. Radio needs this but the music business is so freakin’ screwed up.
LOVES IT!
Sorry but she killed someone’s mother and got away with it scott free because she is a celeb. I can’t support her.
sooooooooooo hot !!!!!! i hope the video is hot
#84 Shut the hell up……
Go suck one
LMAO@#84 TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE SUCH A NEGATIVE COMMENT.
U HAVE LOW SELF-ESTEEM AND THAT’S NOT GOOD AT ALL. =/
GET YOUR INFO STRAIGHT BEFORE POSTING FALSE SH!T.
BRANDY DID NOT KILL NO ONE.
ANYWAYS, BRANDY OMFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
THIS SONG IS THE BEST I’VE HEARD THIS YEAR AND I REALLY MEAN IT!
BRANDY IS NOT PLAYING!
Whoa..not a Brandy fan but this song is undeniably fantastic.
I am lost for words.I just broke upw ith someone due to long distances and this song just brought it all back..so weird.this is what music is supposed to do to you..who cares about catchy beats?I want to feel something and brandy u got my deepest feelings alive with your music.today.I truly love ya.now A BIG FAN!!!
I love Brandy on this song, she is definitely bringing it back. I have been a fan from day one and feel like I grew with her, From shy fifteen wanting to be down to grown and experienced with her new album Human. Brandy has gone through some things just like everyone else, it doesn’t make her different, it only makes you Human.
only makes her Human I meant.
I luvvvvvvvvvv Brandy, she is a truly talented beautiful young woman. I’m so happy she’s getting her life back on track after the tragedy. Her little girl is so pretty, she have really grown. Best of luck to Brandy and every cd she drop, I’m buyin………
I love the song but i would have to agree that it might not be good to release as a second single. I will buy the album though.
Brandy is the blueprint for talent that is missing in this industry…. she killin this song tho.. rodney jerkins is beastly.. hopefully their chemistry will continually create like so……
LOVE’N IT
love it! Go brandy, this is much better than the crap thats currently on the radio
Brandy is forever fabulous!!!
And her first single from this album was subpar, it shouldn’t have been released as a single and not at that time. I think the album pushbak is a good thing because soo many artists are releaseing/rereleasing their albums between now and december. Its best for Brandy to wait.
And what kills me is that if Beyonce, Alicia, Britney etc released the same song theirs would be number 1 in a second. Its like the music industry has turned into a popularity contest.
And u’d think urban radio would have more sense than to play commercial garbage, but “urban” stations are just as bad as the pop ones.
B-Rocka is Back! I loves it; I got chill bumps! This is going to crossing over into mainstream all the way to the top! Brandy is an artist who knows that it is all about quality not quanity! Go Brandy!
“CAN YOU HEAR ME CRYING………(AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)……..CAN YOU YOU HEAR ME CRYIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN)
lol that’s my favorite part!!!
Brandy is amazing! Her voice is like magic, it is so angelic and just hypnotizing. I can’t wait for her CD to come out. She does things with her voice that no one can do. She is the one who make you really appreciate music like how it used to be. This new stuff from other artist is a mess. Brandy for life. However don’t like her or have something bad to say is just TACKY! Hey Brian!
Brandy’s voice is one of a kind!
This song just needed better production, Darkchild is overworked these days lol. Her voice is too smoky and soulful for the Disney ballad. Try again please!
I love this song!!! My husband is deploying soon and the distance will kill me. This will be my soundtrack for the year that he is gone. I pray for all the women who leave their children for this senseless occupation of Iraq and all the families left behind waiting and praying for a safe return. Keep military families in your prayers…it won’t be a success until everyone is safely home in the United States.
#84 please get your facts straight before you subject others to your ignorance! Brandy was not charged because she was involved in an ACCIDENT not because of her status. Instead of judging the situation, how about you offer some support for those involved? Pray for them or something instead of wasting your time being negative…. Anyhow… I’m absolutely in love with Long Distance and Right Here (Departed) is still at the top of my playlist. It’s so refreshing for Brandy to be putting out meaningful songs that everyone should be able to relate to in one way or another. Brandy’s return has come right on time and she’s really on top of her vocal game. At least now I can count on these two songs to break the monotonous sound coming from my radio everytime I turn it on. I can’t wait to get the album and listen to the entire package!
@84 and R Kelly had sex with an underage girl and TI got caught with firearms, and u aint sayin shit about them?
It was an ACCIDENT u lameass hater. No intention to murder, no speeding, no DUI. I guess simple minded folks don’t even understand the law.
I Love this song
Loves the song…very much what I would expect from Brandy.
NOW HERE”S THE PROBLEM: I hate that ppl compare Beyonce to every female artist. I mean I love Beyonce and I really like brandy (I have every brandy c.d.), but when ppl start once again bashing beyonce and comparing her to brandy, it makes me talk negatively about Brandy because I’m going to defend Beyonce as an artist. Same goes for Cici and Riri as well.
So here I go…………..Help me understand why every song about LOVE is a song of substance???? And then name me a female r&b artist who hasn’t sang a song about love. I understand it’s all in how the song is excuted, but surely you guys don’t think that Brandy sings better than Beyonce ( *chuckles*). I dunno, I guess I don’t get what “substance” is suppose to sound like. Again, I like “Long Distance” as well as “P.D.”, and “Departed”….but I wouldn’t say that those songs are any more meaningful than “If I were a boy” or “S.L”.
Anywho, I’ll be buyin both Beyonce and Brandy.
O.K this is a BRANDY post not a Beyonce post if you want to talk about Beyonce go to the post down below about her being on trl. Besides that they are both beautiful and talented in their own way stop the comparising. Now back to BRANDY you are the one girl don’t let these haters get to you this is your year and if it’s not it definately should be I will be copping your album make BRANDY no1 yaw
bran is back 4 real…. i lovin dis track and is way better than rhd. good look to her cause talentless stars like britney spear can hit number 1 so can bran,,,
@105
You can’t compare Brandy’s music to Beyonce’s.
I like Beyonce, but musically she’s not touching Brandy.
IFWAB & SL are alright cuts but isn’t she getting sued for stealing IIWAB?
And SL is a cute song for the moment.
Brandy’s music is timeless.
Damn Afro you said all the right shit..
I agree with you #108! Beyonce ain’t even coming close to what Brandy brings. Sorry boo.
well like I’ve always said….MUSIC is an ART and to each it’s own.
Again I like Brandy, but I’d much rather hear BEYONCE sing a song live than Brandy…I’d much rather go to a Beyonce concert…..I’d buy both cd’s, but I know I would be more excited to hear Beyonce. And ten years from now when Im tellin my kids the music I listened to or liked I kno I’ll mention Beyonce.
No need to argue cuz again I really like Brandy
#105 you must not know much about vocals if you don’t see the greatness in Brandy’s voice. But like you said to each it’s own, if you prefer someone to yell and scream and growl then you wouldn’t like vocalists like Brandy, India Aire, Jill Scott. they are all people who can yell and growl but they chose to SING instead!!!!
Amazing track; Brandy’s comin back hard
I doubted this song as a single – but I definitley love the song now. It is full of feelings, anticipation, and love. The one who understands the meaning of “Long Distance” will love it, too.
AMAZING SON!
OMG THIS DESERVES A GRAMMY! True R&B Unlike Beyonce and her Get me Married (Single Ladies)
a legend at its best a grammy will be recieved
I love Long Distance. Great Great song. Brandy, you my girl. Love you.
hmnn….. a think the girl s so charming, her vocals are just right and really matches with her face. even when you’ve never seen her face, the song really gives the whole view. keep up shawty, good work.LONG DISTANCE KILLS, IT REALLY DOES
