“B7” Q&A
-
What has Brandy said about co-writing and co-producing the album?
It was really important for me to just discover that part of myself. I was working with some amazing people like DJ Camper and LaShawn Daniels, who helped guide me, and it was a way for me to really use music to heal and be therapeutic. It felt different than anything that I had ever done, and it’s something that I felt like I needed to do.

Was Brandy hesitant about releasing the album?
I was a little hesitant with putting out music in this time because, of course, you want to speak to the times. And I’m thinking, “My music is not about exactly what’s going on right now.” But then I thought, “But this is the time where people need to feel like they have something to just escape and just help them heal.” … So that’s what made me feel better about releasing [the album]. And I think that we don’t want to feel alone. We need to feel community, we need to feel togetherness, we need to feel love right now. And I think music is the best way to feel that. It’s the shortcut to feeling that right away.
