Brandy has reportedly been dropped by Epic. And ALREADY, after being signed to Jay-Z's Roc nation management company for not even a couple of months, she's parted from them too. This is not a good look. And this most definitely means Brandy won't be dropping an album this year. Even if she was with a record label she wouldn't have anyway. Brandy don't do anything less than a 2 year gap between albums.
Brandy twittered a message along the lines of some shit about how people shouldn't believe everything they hear, in what fans think is in regards to her being booted out the door by Epic. But I wouldn't be surprised if it genuinely turned out to be the case, or at the very least was on the cards. Human flopped...HARD! And Brandy's not as big a star as some other less talented bitches in the game right now. To many records labels I'd imagine she's pretty expendable. Today is all about selling power. Talent comes way down the list. It's tough out there. Unless you're a guaranteed money magnet who stays active and in the media like Beyoncé, Britney, Justin Timberlake and Usher - you're going to seriously struggle. And Brandy's had her last 3 albums under perform in the charts with huge several year gaps in between each one.
I say Brandy does what Mya did: sign with a label in Japan, release her album there and just see what happens. Fans would import her shit. (I know I would!) Plus, Japan has some producers that can do the damn thing as good if not better than US producers. My online buddy Frederick said Darkchild should sign her. But this is as bad as having no label. Ain't NOBODY that's signed to Darkchild ever gotten an album out. Just ask Rhona Bennett, Shamari Fears of Blaque and Natasha. You can find Shamari and Natasha at your nearest Wendy's drive thru window. Whilst Rhona can be found working night shifts on Monday's, Wednesday's and Thursday's at a Wal Mart store near you. And unless Brandy finds herself a label and put out a commercially successful album real soon, she'll soon be frosting rings at a Dunkin' donuts.
I really hope Brandy's situation sorts itself out. Because I love Brandy's music, and this is the last thing she needs after coming through the mess she went through last year.
