Album: Human
Artist(s): Brandy
Official Drop Date: December 5, 2008
Blades: 7.5
Grade: B-
Bottom-line: A decent album.
Review: Following the drama that was Brandy’s vehicular accident and the sham marriage revealed, Brandy has seemed to make her presence and feelings known as to where she stands on everything. Most of the album sounded like an apology put to music; Human has attempted to address most (if not) everything she has gone through in her personal life and career. Too bad it stayed under the radar as garbage music flooded the airwaves. Noted as not one of her strongest albums, Human still delivers on quality and has been slept on by the industry. Long Distance stood out from the album and closely behind was Camouflage.
Also worthy of mentioning were Fall, 1st and Love, and Something’s Missing. The album seemed to almost reach what Brandy normally delivers but took a turn for different. Not a bad thing if you can hit the right target. On a few tunes the music never matched up to the lyrics or expectations. Piano Man was not a strong favorite as I felt the album could have done without the shout out to the piano man. Was not sure why he needed one. There were not many songs I fast-forwarded through besides Piano Man. This album was not one to ignore as it gave good music and stories.
Right Here (Departed) was a song that took to change well. Brandy was able to come with a dance beat and her vocals were strong. The lyrics seem to speak on how folks feel alone through the darkest times in their lives, but there is someone who vows to be by their side. Torn Down was a good song but need stronger music to accompany it. At some parts I felt the music over powered her vocals, and that’s never a good sign.
Not deemed the best singer in my book, Brandy seems to have given her all, but will that be enough to draw fans back to a star questioning her will to stay in the W.O.S.? This album got 7.5 blades and a B- because although I like Brandy, the project as a whole did not meet the expectations I had for her. Aphrodisiac and Full Moon had “different sounds” and they were stronger albums.

Kicking off this new segment for Bootlegged Reviews is the song Ah, Yeah! submitted by the indie artist, Flawless. This pop/dance single that has what it takes to get a party started and has a professional feel that many Indie projects lack. Coming from Queens, New York, Flawless shines on this track. Formerly signed to
Ashley Judd seems to have added her happy ass to the long list of folks in denial of the monster that their precious industry (the W.O.S.) has created. Judd has taken it upon herself to reiterate the obvious while ignoring the giant wizard puppeteer behind the puppets.
espite the truth that there are no set programs, more than half of the shows are unconfirmed, the first week or more have only been previews of what MIGHT be shown, and more than half of all television viewers have yet to see anything on the OWN Network, mainstream
2010 has been another year where the WOS Celebs have stepped their game up in the category of bullshit, hot mess, and sloppiness. Yesterday, two WOS young bloods were in battled in another Internet War of Words. Twitter has become the "safe zone" to attack folks behind a computer and have the fans directly involved. Instant bullshit brought to everyone's and anyone's computer screens - whether asked for it or not.
As many gleam over the multiple of things that has been added to her list of "deeds" which deed became her turning point. ... Negating her sexuality (that has little to do with her public actions as far as I'm concerned) what is really going on with her? ... She doesn't seem to read or comprehend some of the books she pushes through her "book club" being that two frauds have been discovered. She only "confronted" one of the frauds because the other media began to question her intelligence and if she and her cohorts even fact checked their information.
