MUSIC NEWS: BRANDY PUSHED BACK? / T.I. MAKES HISTORY / GINUWINE INKS NEW DEAL / TONI BRAXTON PREPS COMEBACK

Friday, October 10, 2008

brandyhumancover.jpg

Brandy’s comeback album, Human, originally slated for release on November 11th has been pushed back to December 9th. People have rumored that this is due to the fact that Timbaland wants to add some of his finishing touches to the album, but most are under the impression that the single, “Right Here (Departed)” has not been performing on the charts as well as it should.

I think they’ve made the right decision. It’ll give them time to put out a second single (”Long Distance”), as well as allow people to realize that the video is, after all, #1 on BET’s 106 & Park.

T.I. MAKES HISTORY

T.I. made history this week after the release of his sixth solo album, Paper Trail. After debuting at #1 on the Billboard charts, selling 568,000 copies in its first week, T.I.

This marks T.I.’s third consecutive #1 debut on the charts, as well as his best first-week sales of his career. T.I. is responsible for the biggest sales week for Atlantic Records in the history of the label.

The Atlanta-bred rapper have the #1 album in the U.S., he also has the #1 single. “Live Your Life,” featuring pop princess Rihanna jumps from 80-1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The track sold 335,000 downloads this week in the U.S.

Wow, that’s great for T.I.

GINUWINE INKS NEW DEAL

ginwuine.jpg

Ginuwine is prepping his new album to release first quarter of 2009 and has inked a deal with Notifi Records with distribution on Warner Bros. Music. This will be Ginuwine’s follow-up record to 2005’s Back II Da Basics, as well as his greatest hits album that dropped in May of 2007.

Ira Dewitt, CEO of Notifi comments on the signing:

“Notifi Records is proud to be working with such a well respected artist and look forward to the creative direction this project is headed. Our current plans include having a single out this October and an album released by quarter one of 2009. We are lining up top producers and tracks as we speak.”

I haven’t been a Ginuwine fan since he stopped working with Timbaland after his The Life album, but I’d like to see what cards he’s going to play in order to stay relevant in this day in age. Will Ginuwine try to hop on this pop train, or will he stick to his R&B roots?

TONI BRAXTON PREPS COMEBACK

Toni Braxton, who can most recently be seen on Dancing With the Stars. After being released from her contract and performing dates in Las Vegas, and medical problems, Toni has signed a new deal with Atlantic Records and has decided to shed a little light on her upcoming project, a follow-up to the highly underrated 2005 release, Libra.

The new album is set to drop at the top of 2009, and Toni has revealed that the single, which will be impacting radio sometime next month, will be produced by none other than Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins.

I’m interested to see what the two are going to come up! Toni has worked with Darkchild previously (remember “He Wasn’t Man Enough?” from her album The Heat?) so I’m sure they’ll have some chemistry to rekindle. Rodney has been getting a lot of work lately, too. I’m hoping that this album is good, because I really am a Toni fan. Let’s hope she can keep up!

Brandy should also push back her album to avoid being slaughtered in sales by Beyonce. . .

Now we don’t want that!

I haven’t heard much about Beyonce single since the day she put out it in fact the DJ’s on the urban stations said it was garbage. However, I do hear alot about Brittney’s cd which I like her one single better than Beyawnce’s. Now, this post is a good one. I can’t wait to get Brandy’s CD. Toni is coming back Ginuwine is coming back. That’s what’s up. TI i love the cd and my favorite is LiveurLife. Rihanna seems to be at the top spot alot alone and in collaborations. I think her and TI make good music together.

I’d like to hear new music from Ginuwine, but I’m not so sure about Miss Toni. She passed her musical prime a while ago. Hopefully the DWTS exposure will help her sales.

Support black programming. Watch The Game tonight at 8:30 EST on The CW.

Dang, I’m disappoint in the push back of Brandy Album…. #1 who cares about Beyonce, believe it or not, Brandy has a fan base that waiting on her album…. Some care about album sales, but just because you have good ablum sales, dont make the album have substance… Beyonce albums are nice to dance too, but normally, does she really have substance…. Most of her song dont! Dont get me wrong, Beyonce is a hell of performer, but those two shouldnt be compared.. They are in different games… NE ways, I waiting on Brandy and haters will learn to respect (KHIA style lol) her…. But it seems Right Here is doing very well on 106 because it number one… either way im patiently waiting on that voice to come back to the scence and let people realize why she still can make music.

@1 Ain’t nobody scared of Beyonce. Her single is just not doing well so unlike Beyonce she won’t drop her album with 2 wack singles out because the Stans will buy anything.

T.I. has recovered from all the drama and is doing his thing. I’m so happy for him.

Can’t wait for Toni to bring some great music, and as far as Genuine goes I’m over it.

No…why they have to push back Brandy album. Anywayz it might be for the best Right Here Departed is fire and I heard her new single Long Distance is going to be one of the best of her career. Guess I’ll have to wait a little longer.

TI is truly the King one of the best albums of the year way better than TI vs TIP!

BRANDY AND TONI :D

Brandy I’m glad they’re pushing it back. Let her next single Long Distance get some exposure, first. Right Here (Departed) #1 on 106 countdown so at least we know she’s getting love from the R&B crowd.

Toni, LOVE her. Libra was slept on. Hopefully Atlantic will do a better job promoting her.

And PLEASE I request you, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not use Beyonce’s name in vain like this.

Why cant anbody pick singles anymore?!

Brandy shoulda had me pick her single, I swear them labels have no idea what they are doing. And then you go and buy the album and hear the interlude that should have been a single! SMH

@ 20 I think Beyonce needs to be pushed back too. I lost all hope for Michelle on Wednesday. Her singles are good, but can we just get the movies first.

@ #25 aka IKNOWDASRITE

Yeah i agree with you too, these record labels know NOTHING when it comes to picking single just look at what happened to Mariah that album literally tanked after the first single, i think the record labels should let the fans pick the singles.

I’m actually excited about most the projects in this post (Brandy, Toni, and Ginuwine). I disagree about Ginuwine. The Senior is a very good album, and that’s after he parted ways with Timbaland. With the right production he’ll be fine. He doesn’t need Timb to get success. All of his albums have been platinum, except for Back II Basics which I admit wasn’t good anyway. I’m confident Ms. Toni’s CD will be hot. All of her albums are good IMO, and Libra is an excellent album, that I still listen to this day. It just didn’t get the right promo it should have gotten. Her label (at the time) were seriously slacking off only releasing 1 single and video off of the album. I’m hoping Ginuwine will stick with his R&B roots as well as Toni. I’m tired of hearing the saturation of pop &B. I don’t mind hearing it from some, but to hear it from veterans in the game would be annoying and disappointing. I hope Toni and Ginuwine will stay doing real R&B and please don’t do anything techno or autotune. That sound is playing itself out. Too many people are on that bandwagon already.

Brandy is that By+ch. i luv me some brandy. i will be getting this album. she has been through so much in the past few years and i hope she can get back on top of her game.
I would like to hear something from ginuwine but i doubt its gonna live up to my expectations or standards….i guess i will have to wait and see.
Toni Braxton has been doubted by many but she brings sooo much emotion to her songs and is an iccredible artist. very underrated. i cant wait for something new from her. I love “please” and “take this ring” and her older stuff. i think 2009 is gonna be a good year for her.

@46 - That’s not true. Mary J. Blige, Jay-z, and Mariah are all over 30 and get airplay.

I’m not surprised Brandy’s album was pused back. Her single is not doing well , so it make sense. I want to see her win though…so I hope the rest of her album is much better than the first single.

Ginuwine and Toni - Same with Brandy. I want to see them win! I hope there music is good and they stay true to their styles.

T.I. - Good for him. Some artists ARE still selling records, contrary to popular belief.

@#1. Lets see how well Bey does after Britney drops her album. It’s much more highly anticipated than Bey’s trash. As a matter of fact, Brandy is a more genuine talent than Bey. Regardless of her album getting pushed back, I hope it does well. Good luck, woman.

Congrats to TI! I’m happy for him. Continue to make history, baby.

Toni is so underrated that it’s insane. I just don’t understand why someone with the genuine talent that she has, career would be so down in the dumps. I HOPE for Toni’s sake that everything works out this time around. Quite frankly, I’m fed up with these problems that she’s been having with record labels. If only they would do their part to make sure her new disc is a success, because I refuse to believe that she just doesn’t have it anymore.

Where in the hell has Ginuwine’s fine ass been?

******I wouldn’t count out Right Here (Departed) as of yet. It’s currently 83 on the **Hot 100 this week. It’s been steadliy climbing the R&B charts, currently at 23. **Like someone said, she is definately getting her love from the R&B market, but I **think it will pick up in the pop/mainstream market. It’s been on the Hot 100 for 3 **weeks, so pushing the album back is not a bad idea (although I was looking **forward to it) this will definitely allow the single to bring about more buzz for the **album. Cuz I don’t care what anyone says the song is the bizness, Brandy out **sangin all these chicks on that track. Don’t no one in the game got “runs” like **Brandy. Looking forward to the new single to, “Long Distance,” never hurts to ***drop two singles before the album drops, a little something for everyone.

T.I.’s album is my second favorite of the year so far, after Nas of course. That Nas CD is brilliant I don’t care how it sold. It’s the kind of record that you used to sit around and talk about and analyze…do college kids still even do that? Or are they just shaking that ass to the likes of Li’l Wayne? I liked more of the Wayne album than I thought I would but he’s weak lyrically…if you care about content.
I’m happy to see Ginuwine and Toni back, but don’t know if they can compete in this market. Both of their last albums were underappreciated and underpromoted. I love, love, love his last video for “When We Make Love.” Hmmmm, I know he’s a married man. Toni’s “Libra” is a gem, if you haven’t heard it, check it out…

Okay….i know you love the hell out of Rihanna and all, and i think she’s pretty awesome too, but this whole “pop princess” title you keep trying to give her isn’t sufficient. She hardly has sold half, OF HALF, as many albums as Britney has sold for you to be giving other, less worthy chicks her title.

Britney may have been slippin recently, but i feel she has worked hard and consistently for that label. The “Next Britney”? Definitely.

i get so tired of hearing people bash brandy i almost go right past post with her on it because i dont wanna ready the negativity…but i gotta support my girl…i am NOT happy about the push back but maybe this will give her the opportunity to drop a hit that everybody likes,because even though i like “right here” everybody else doesnt and i guess i could understand why…you would have always had to be a brandy fan to understand her music…but hopefully she can hit the second single out of the park

congrats T.I

i love me some ginuwine but he hasnt dropped a for sure hit since “in those jeans”, i mean i bought the last album and loved it to death but not everybody was with me on that. but i hope that he can make a relevant comeback

It’s a reasonable request but you know it must come up…everytime a singer is mentioned here, whoever displaced her is also mentioned. And while I think it may have been Ashanti who knocked Brandy off the top (Monica didn’t) I can’t remember…so Beyonce is the next best guess. As for Beyonce, her singles aren’t being played here…Rihanna’s new single is, though.

I think a push back for Brandy could be a good thing. Too many people are releasing albums in November. Ludacris, Kanye West, Beyonce, and a few others. Plus, “Departed” isnt moving up the charts real fast.

Ginuwine needs some help with his music. Not necessarily saying he needs to get back with Timbaland, but they did make some good music together. His music hasn’t been the same since he stopped working with Timb & Missy. His last album, I Apologize (which was released in 2007 without majority of the world knowing about it) was super weak! I’m sure he can make a comeback. He has the voice…he just needs to get thr right writers & producers.

I’m looking forward to hearing what Toni has to offer. Hopefully her lyrics mature and she starts singing again, instead of whispering and trying to be overly sexy.

I love Brandy. All her albums have been good with an exception of a sub par album “Full Moon”. I think the push back is good for Brandy and isn’t because Beyonce’s album is coming out is because the song she did with Darkchild isn’t a strong first single so she might have to reconsider a second single that is banging.

Ginuwine’s music hasn’t been the same since he left Timbaland. I’m sorry but “The Bachelor” and “100% Ginuwine” are classics. Everything he put out ever that sounded like a bunch of albums with failed attempts to recreate a new style since he parted ways with Timbaland. Sorry I’m not really interested in Ginuwine until he releases a hot single that will get me interested again.

Congrats to T.I. I’m sorry but I’ve never been a fan of his albums. I heard “Urban legend”, “King”, “I’m Serious”, Trap Muzik” and T.I. Vs. Tip and still can’t get with this dude lol.

I just wonder how long the other rappers like T.I., Kanye, 50 and Luda gone keep letting Jayz run around saying he’s the best when he’s been selling less cd’s than them in the last few years…..Damn shame how people don’t want to give others credit…..T.I and Kanye are the new Kings.

I’m excited about Toni’s and Brandy’s project. I hope Brandy don’t put them songs i heard on that cd, cause i really don’t think its going to sell if she does…they weren’t strong enough. But Toni said she’s going back to basics, singing majority love ballads, and i can’t wait to hear something from her….by the way i loved Libra; it’s a treasure that’s underrated and overlooked.

Man I swear I totally agree you with you @Tia. Every post they have about Brandy maybe 75% of the comments are negative. She is not the type of artist that you going to give you what every one else is doing. Her music is pure and original. Brandy stated in an interview that she is not in the game this time for competition. She got her grammy for the Boy is Mine, she had the number one singles, she was a Cover Girl and had the TV shows. Brandy purposely said that she came back to make music for her fans because this what WE (The Fans) deserve. Beyonce seems to always get brought up with her because Brandy had that success at one point but nevertheless the single is 67 on Hot 100 and 23 on R&B and gradually going on. People do not know real music I swear it aint ass shaking or over a rap beat it aint music

I’m looking forward 2 Brandy’s album release. Toni Braxton is really underrated. I mean Libra was the shit! The album was bettter than half of all the Beyonce/Rihanna crap that pple buy. Sad, that pple don’t really know or support true talent.

Toni Braxton, I HOPE she goes far in DWTS. It may not be everyone’s thing, but it’s sure to get her back some mainstream exposure, again. She doesn’t need to go into the hip hop market again.

All she needs is a HOT comeback single, and plenty of promotion by the label. Everyone always refers to Mariah’s “We Belong Together” as something so good the radio’s got no choice but to play it. Ms Braxton needs to put all her time and efforts into making stuff her long-terms fans wanna hear.

#83….People act like brandy is a cold-blooded person and this and that,forgetting that all of them watched moesha and thea and all of them was bumping to her music…its like they act like she was some one hit wonder or something…when anybody else gets bashed i just ignore it,but when it comes to brandy i just dont like it…hell i’m beys biggest fan but i’m used to the hate on her….but brandy,i dont know i feel as though God gave her favor and she is being ridiculed for it

@greatestlove mine would have to be “have you ever”, “almost doesnt count” “broken hearted” “best friend” “boy is mine” “who is she to you” “focus” “i tried” “another day in paradise” (her and ray -j) and even though it isnt her song i loved her in “bring me down” by kanye,that shit was raw!!

I’m disappointed but I’m not mad….it seems like the more singles you put out the better you do when the album come out anyway, Jazmine Sullivan’s first single went to 31 on the charts and her album did poorly, but Mary J and Mariah put out 2 or 3 singles before their “comeback” CD was released and they did well….so I’m still hopeful. But I’m very ready for it to be released though, I need some Brandy!

I will support Brandy’s effort, and I also just started warming up to her song and video, so good thing they pushed it back!

Good for T.I. Whoever chose his singles and decided to push back his album should be given a raise!! Now THAT is how you put out an album! (ahem…Usher, Mariah…I’m lookin in your direction!)

And I will just say that Toni’s ablum The Heat, was SO good!! Very cohesive effort…I will be interested in her next project as well!

SOME OF YOU ARE RIGHT PEOPLE DONT PRECIATE GOOD R&B ANYMORE AND THAT IS WHAT MARY,TONI,FAITH,MONICA,BRANDY AND AALIYAH WERE ALL ABOUT……BRANDY GETS A PASS BECAUSE AT ONE POINT ALL SINGERS WILL OR HAVE GOTTEN A ALBUM PUSHBACK!

BUT I HAVE JUST ONE QUESTION…MONICA WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?
WE NEED AN ALBUM LIKE YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Friday, October 10, 2008 /

I agree with #!1. It’s unfortunate that most labels are fearing Beyonce…but, regardless, that single “Departed” gets NO airplay here in Maryland. None whatsoever. I think 92q in Bmore has played it a total of three times since it was dropped. Heck, they have played Ciara’s new single more times than Brandy’s

Can i add that those two new Beyonce singles that leaked are totally wack…and I actually like Solange’s songs better than both of them? I am really not anticipating Bee’s album that much….and I dont’t think it’s going to do well on the charts….they should just keep Brandy’s original release date

I doubt Brandy’s album is being pushed back because of Beyonce. Don’t forget that Britney’s album is also due and I believe it’s going to be much more hyped than any other pop-R&B album out. I like Brandy. I just wish she would have came a lot harder. Maybe her time is just up.

Friday, October 10, 2008 /

I actually like ‘Right Here (Departed)’, but you know the real reason they’re pushing her album back is because it isn’t doing too well on the charts. Let’s hope they haven’t bitten off more than they can chew and the whole thing doesn’t get leaked. That would spell disaster.

Congrats my man TI. You know I’ve always love his songs but don’t own a single album of his. Next time I’m in the CD store I’ll be picking up a copy of his album.

what you know about that

Friday, October 10, 2008 /

When people hear Brandy’s new single, Long Distance, they will understand why the label wanted to wait. That song reminds me of how beautiful Jordan Sparks’ “No Air” is. Has a bit of country flavor with pure R&B emotion. IT WILL SHUT SHIT DOWN!!!!! Plus, haven’t people noticed that labels have developed a formula with these artists?? Midtempo singles first to create buzz then knock people out with a beautiful slow jam. Brandy will be fine.

#100..i’m in Owings Mills (near Bmore)…and you know Bmore and DC don’t like the same type of music. I listen too DC radio stations also….yea, maybe she’s gotten a total of ten spins on PGC and KYS………but Departed ain’t even in the top 40

I think its a good idea for brandy to push her album back….people compare her record sales to beyonce’ or ciara, but what you all fail to realize is brandy was doing her thing waaaayyy before beyonce or ciara, shes sold millions of records as an “original” solo artist while these girls were still recording demos to even get noticed. I love beyonce and ciara also, but brandy has already seen a bigger success than bey or ciara and naturally since then the newness and the hype calms down….the most successful artists will not sale as much as a newer artist.People always ditch an older artist for the new ones, it will never stop. But when it comes down to it,regardless of sales, who’s albums will actually have real bonafide lyrical content,yeah shake your half naked ass while u sing over a busy beat,,who cant do that,but who gives you complex harmonies, real lyrics,crazy runs, and unbelievable tone….its brandy…and I bet all of the brandy haters somehow strangely know the words even if its the chorus to her new sinlge…so shes getting your notice even if its by way of haterism, but how much notice have u gotten from brandy…none, because nobody’s dont get noticed, if she only sales 2 copies of human, it would still be more than anyone on here has accomplished.Beyonce has a beautiful voice, but we’ve watched her grow from a young teenage girl in destinys child to being another typical sexy sexy sex driven vixen, instead of a woman…these women fail to realize that young people buy and liten to more music than older people, and in that, they naturally become role-models.We dont need young girls singing bout puttin rings on their fingers while they skip around in their video in swisuits doind pelvis thrusts and greased up…”Human”…not “InHumane”

Brandy is the queen of Rnb,BEYONCE CN SING BT WITHOUT SUBSTANCE,LETS STOP WAISTING OUR MONEY ON MEANINGLES MUSIC.BEYONCE IS JUST DESTROying real music,that aint rite.shes just burnt out 4 ths album its a desperate move.Beyonce cal Brandy and ask 4 sum mus
