No less than four years after her last album Afrodisiac, Brandy makes a welcome comeback with her new album, Human. It's been turbulent times for the once child prodigy - Afrodisiac was her lowest selling album, [Which I didnt understand why I loved it] she broke off her contract with both Atlantic Records, and manager Benny Medina, and she also has to face a wrongful death lawsuit resulting from a car accident which she caused back in 2006. Despite all her troubles, she still managed to record and release Human, her first album with new label Epic."Long Distance" is the second single, and since it hasn't done well in the charts, few people have probably heard it. The song starts with a slow piano and pretty much plays out like the traditional ballad, with the bassline after the first chorus, then the dramatic strings after the bridge. I cant see why this hasn't performed well in the charts, since its beauitful I think everyone can really relate. "Camouflage" is slightly more pleasing - another Darkchild produced beat which leans more towards pop than r'n'b. It's a very radio friendly song, and I'm quite surprised that this hasn't been mooted as a possible single.
A Capella (Something's Missing)" is a rather clever song. Most of the backing is provided by Brandy herself, with some effects thrown in and a really quiet electric guitar. As the name of the song plays on the missing beat, the theme is also about how relationships can lose that spark, and never get it back.
i dig this cd on so many level's those of course are the stand out tracks but she delivered an RnB cd that I can love for years to come. Go head Brandy you o your "Never Say Never" days.
