reacting to brandy’s “B7” album (my vocal inspiration!)

[@cedricjohnsonreacts]

Whats your favorite song from “B7” 🤔

[@lawrencefranklyn6428]

Cedric Johnson Borderline!!!

[@bowiehs]

Bye Bipolar

[@SimoneUmba]

Borderline had me in tears😭

[@nathanielhutson3580]

Lucid dreams, borderline, say something, no tomorrow, I am more, id rather, high heels,

[@persianelle1873]

borderline 😭 the harmonies lord !

[@FlexNFly]

I'm so proud of how vulnerable she was on this record! I literally just loved it! That borderline is insane.

[@cedricjohnsonreacts]

Same here! I just finished watching the borderline video and wow. She's something else 😍

[@nectarofambrosia990]

Brandy does not get the credit she deserves. She's extremely beautiful and talented. Great video! My favs from B7 are Saving All My Love, Rather Be, Borderline, No Tomorrow, High Heels, Say Something, and Bye Bipolar, but if I had to pick my number one it would be "No Tomorrow".

[@happymusicvibez-cleanmusic4523]

😊

[@greatsweetnice]

There isn’t a track on the album that I don’t like. It’s a masterpiece. I love all of the abstract beats . I feel like ppl are going to reference this album in the future.

[@cedricjohnsonreacts]

YES! Definitely a timeless project 👏🏽

[@framephotography1]

@@cedricjohnsonreacts nope not gonna happen....

[@happymusicvibez-cleanmusic4523]

Agreed because she makes timeless songs 💯

[@realonetel2689]

say something, rather be, borderline, no tomorrow, and unconditional oceans

[@cedricjohnsonreacts]

Tasteeee 👏🏽

[@woke1497]

The album is good ! Although I hope she release remixes to some of the songs though for a little upbeat sound. Some are waiting to be remixed

[@MrHootiedean]

"She's giving me so many vocal ideas." That's what Brandy do, always innovating with the vocals! New to your channel and dig your energy. Top 3 songs: No Tomorrow, Say Something and Unconditional Ocean.

[@kareemdent4383]

The whole album is amazing! B7 is like Never say Never and Full Moon in the sense that sonically they were ahead of their time and influenced R&B music in a whole. This Album is in the future and listening to it is like boarding a spaceship that Brandy is piloting taking us to this B7 future. A whole mood a whole vibe. I’m over 2020 anyway lol!

[@happymusicvibez-cleanmusic4523]

Great comment - she's always had a unique style that remains timeless 👌

[@VonnieVonVonX2]

"Human" is HIGHLY UNDERRATED its the perfect blend of Pop & R&B 💯

[@joemartineztj2545]

Thank god! I'm not alone in the appreciation line for "Human", that album helped me through a lot and it's one of my favorites! Also, this album is EVERYTHING

[@katrinaunderwood2008]

Favorite Brandy Songs: Almost Doesn’t Count, He Is, Put that on Everything, Hardly Breathing....Favorite B7 Song: Borderline.....her vocals are impeccable...periodt!!!

[@BracceG2]

fav Brandy songs are: “Nothing” “Full Moon” “Focus” “Where You Wanna Be” “Borderline” “I Tried”

[@antonmedvedev1128]

I can't take it in why some didn't like Human when that album was/is one of her most vocally challenging in the first place, lyrically most inspired and melodically one of the most beautiful and solid piece of artistic work 🏂🏆🏄 glad it is your favourite 👍

[@happymusicvibez-cleanmusic4523]

Never heard that but agree it's not one of her most well known. Isn't that the album Bruno Mars workwd on too? She's so loved :)

[@storyofdanjul]

The whole fucking album! But BORDERLINE is gonna win her a Grammy. Brandy is a ICON! period!

[@EvanBeausoleil]

Love this album 🥰🥰 unconditional oceans is my standout track hands out - the way she recorded the track is epic and ain’t nobody doin that now a days!! Her vocals are on point with this album and she hit some high falsettos 🥰🥰🥰 SO PLEASED AND HAPPY SHE IS BACK!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@denanewton1518]

Saving all my love, lucid dreams, and borderline are my favorites

[@tylerhackner9731]

Brandy did THAT 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I’m not surprised tho

[@trevianscott1896]

My favorite brandy song is " when you touch me"

[@cedricjohnsonreacts]

I've been waiting for someone to say that it is one of my faves tooo 😭

[@trevianscott1896]

Yesss it is slept on definitely

[@theblackgoat9sagaimmense722]

Mine too

[@SpiritMediumSavonnChampelle]

This CD is like Etheric Soul Music. When you listen you gotta go into it with no expectations just vibe and flow the songs that aren’t grabbing me are because I’m expecting full moon 2/11 teas..... she’s reinventing the wheel and pushing her expression.... very Bjork and Sade..... I think the oceans song is more about the instrumentation of her voice and not the melody or hook..... Brandy is in her own lane and really her own competition because she takes so many risks with her voice. Borderline is my ish, Bye Bi Polar, Say Something and the song w her daughter are my standouts!!!! I wish she would have included hate that you love me.... I was in my feelins last night I let it play straight through this morning and got a different vibe..... there’s a story in all the songs that hold pieces to a narrative. She struggles with mental health, emotional balance and wants love but scared to be vulnerable and will go crazy if she’s hurt again..... she’s giving us the answers to why it took 8 years. On another note your personality is all types of dope! Really enjoyed this review 👌🏽🌈

[@marshunnaclark5829]

Is Etheric Soul music a real genre? If so... any requests?!

[@lifeisthedash]

Yes everyone is so microwaveable today. Everything fast then put it to the side in 2 weeks. Brandy made something u can sit with and something she knew her stan's and peeeers wud accept and expect. Working out her own issues in a artistic way but still feeding her fans is a WIN WIN...esp in Concert.

[@lifeisthedash]

@@marshunnaclark5829 Go listen to artist in INSECURES soundtracks. Start with Snoh Aalegra.👈

[@msawmusic]

I agree shes made a work of art. Very different. Progressive R&B a genre she’s had a huge influence on from artists like Chris Brown, Jhene Aiko, Jessie J., etc. But this album is jamming and so refreshing from the average Trap influenced R&B music

[@annisaarthur-castro6227]

Very thoughtful analysis!

[@lifeisthedash]

People who naysay need to put on thier headphones That... I'm savin all my love, slaps. It's like a tennis match back n forth with those beats. I AM MORE gave me flashbacks of Rufus and Chaka Khan. While NO TOMORROW gave me sweet stevie wonder whimsy. Lucid Dreams is just so.....sublime. This album melts like butter over pancakes. I wish girls wudda bigged up Baby Mamma more. Great video and rap by Chance.

[@micology_]

Your reaction to No Tomorrow is LITERALLY me lmao.

[@Monroestevens306]

My favorite Brandy so is “The Way You Touch Me”. When I moved into my first apartment when I was 20. I fell asleep to that song on repeat for like 3 months straight. 😍😍😍

[@cedricjohnsonreacts]

You just got me so excited to fall asleep to brandy once I move into my own place 🤗

I gotta give unconditional queens another try!

[@LuvliLadi27]

Bye Bipolar is my fav. Fav album is still Never Say Never. She said she named album B7 due to fans. I also love Human album. Ran through all albums today!!! This album is a spiritual journey 💗

[@cedricjohnsonreacts]

I get lost in her voice every time I listen to that one. I am so glad she continues to take risks. Thank you for being here! I can't wait to go back and revisit Never Say Never! 🤗🖤

[@LuvliLadi27]

Pink Panther I must’ve missed something lol. I mention my personal fav of NSN mostly nostalgia as her voice is so much sweeter now. Human was directly mentioned in video and comment directed there. I love anything B does.

[@ChosenRellll1111]

[@cedricjohnsonreacts]

Thank you so much for watching! 🤗 Brandy is amazing!

[@RTS_87]

Also to answer your question my all time favorite Brandy song is “Anybody”. For unreleased tracks it’s “Sweet Nothings”.

[@annisaarthur-castro6227]

Anybody is HARD!

[@cedricjohnsonreacts]

OMG dont even get me started on the unreleased songs!! 😭

[@azealiabankrupt8048]

My favorite Brandy songs are Broken-hearted(both versions) Angel in disguise, Open(this was unreleased), and Almost doesn’t count

[@woke1497]

The older ones lol.

[@BoyNextDoor456]

I love “Open”. Only true Brandy fans know about that song. It’s a rare gem.

[@happymusicvibez-cleanmusic4523]

Have to look up 'Open' thanks for the heads up.

[@JordanZick]

We have waited so long for this album, and it does not disappoint! I can't wait to hear more Brandy album reviews/reactions/revisitations from you! This reaction made me subscribe! Favorite Brandy songs= When You Touch Me, Can You Hear Me Now, Focus, Torn Down, Nothing! I mean, there's too many to count! Also, you have another HUMAN STAN here! It's one of my favorite Brandy albums!

[@stephengeorge7930]

fave brandy song(s) brandy - i wanna be down never say never - almost doesn't count, have you ever, top of the world full moon - full moon, i thought, all in me, apart, can we, what about us?, anybody, nothing, he is afrodisiac - afrodisiac, who is she 2 u, talk about our love, i tried, where you wanna be, focus, necessary, should i go, nodding off human - warm it up (with love), long distance, camouflage, torn down, shattered heart, a cappella (something's missing), 1st and love two eleven - wildest dreams, slower, put it down, hardly breathing, paint this house, can you hear me now, music, what you need b7 - saving all my love, rather be, borderline, baby mama, love again, bye bipolar

[@cedricjohnsonreacts]

Thorough I love it 🖤A lot of my favorites in there too!

[@johnson213me]

I think that this is Brandy's most experimental/atmospheric record, compared to her mainstream sounding records. I wonder what others think of this. I can't pick a favorite record. I think it varies based on the mood. On a continuum of experimental (1) to mainstream (7) 1. Most Experimental - B7 2. Afrodisiac 3. Full Moon 4. Human 5. Never Say Never 6. Brandy 7. Most Mainstream - Two Eleven Favorite B7: Say Something or Rather Be

[@shanelaure6774]

@@cedricjohnsonreacts OF COURSE BABE!! ILY & please keep the content coming. I have ya notifications on 😭

[@gabegibson1149]

This is a near flawless album. Vocals are on fire as per usual. Instrumentation is just cool as hell, and mesmerizing. The lyrics do have some blind spots in regards to mental health and how much stigma there is surrounding specifically schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (neither of which Brandy suffers from, if the internet is to be believed). But still, musically speaking, phenomenal.

Yess that perfect way to explain her singing voice. It’s a choir of Brandy’s!

[@KellieAlston]

I love Human, too. My daughter is 14 and she knows every single song bc I play it so much...but I play all of her albums, religiously. The cover art is incredible. Brandy is beautiful.

[@happymusicvibez-cleanmusic4523]

She's always been gorgeous. Your daughter is lucky to have you introduce good music to her :)

[@rvegas81]

I've been wanting to check out this album. She's from our era. i did not get a chance to listen. THANKS FOR THE REVIEW.

[@BAMOORE94]

I don’t understand how she went from topping the charts in the 90’s to super underrated now.. Vocally she is one of the greatest I’ve ever heard.. plus her harmonies, background vocals, and layering are beyond amazing!

[@iam_prodigy]

Sy’Rai is actually singing in Baby Mama on the lighter notes. You hear you clearly at the end. She also sings in the Cinderella project with Toddrick Hall. “I wanted to ring out the bells” is where you distinctively hear her.

[@aunyaebledsoe9535]

No tomorrow

[@cedricjohnsonreacts]

Soo good 👏🏽

[@aunyaebledsoe9535]

Yesssss

[@EmmanuelKikoni]

Human has always been one of my favorite albums of all time for YEARS.

[@jamestravilean]

Album cover... iconic. I agree with you on the title. I don’t like it when artists number their albums instead of actually naming it. I think it’s lazy. Excited for you to do the Brandy discography!!! But could you do Lotus first? Just to finish the Xtina journey.

[@ritagreenleaf3669]

I love human too and I love Brandy for being born. She is the light in the dark

[@Knowledgeovergrades]

My favorite song is Lucid Dreams. I've been meditating more lately and the water sound is so relaxing. I love when the beat drops and how kinda off beat it is and how she experiences with that random high note. It's kinda like how meditation can put you on a positive high and you become appreciative of what you have been able to move past. But the album from "Saving My Love" to "Borderline" is a vibe.

[@happymusicvibez-cleanmusic4523]

Love her too. Plus love your channel name.

[@navynick7307]

Dude, I love Human also. Glad you mentioned it, no one ever does.💛👍🏾

[@KBJL9498]

I’m enjoying B7 the more I listen to it! It’s just been so Long since we had a full body of work from the Vocal Bible. Lastly, where are the Full Moon stans at? Best Brandy record of ALL TIME!!!!

[@francescommedo5848]

I have loved her since she was on Thea. Her evolution is phenomenal! My songs on this album are Rather Be, Lucid Dreams, No Tomorrow, Love Again (which was released on Daniel Ceasar's album last year). This album was her poetry. Minus probably Love Again.

[@happymusicvibez-cleanmusic4523]

Only real fans know the Thea days :)

[@chezariethames6907]

I LOOOOOOOVE Hardly Breathing!! And I agree, I feel like ppl don't talk about Human but it has so many gems: Right Here (departed), Long Distance, Acapella (Something's Missing) and Fall 💙💙💙💙

[@DjHappyscrappin]

Please listen to Borderline accompanied with the video. She put all her repertoire of skills on that song and video. That's my favorite. Also old school Brandy "Almost doesn't count." "Best friend" then "Afrodiasiac"👌🔥🔥🔥

[@cedricjohnsonreacts]

I will make sure to check it out thank you! Appreciate it 🖤

[@LayRoyalty]

I have too many favorite brandy songs but every time I am like down I always go to acapella and put that on tomorrow

[@christianaayodele]

It took me till this year to get into human. But human is that girl. Faves from B7 are: Say something; rather be; boderline, no tomorrow; I am more

[@YGnetworkinc]

I listen to Rather Be 50 times a day!!!

[@cedricjohnsonreacts]

I haven't been able to stop playing more of this album since it came out! She really fed us this time 😭

[@ladybugradio1988]

@Cedric Johnson As a child I have been a fan of Brandy for many years and let me tell you if I had to sincerely tell you what my favorite song from "B7" is I wish I could say all of them are bops in my opinion and although I love "Baby Mama" with Chance The Rapper it's something about her A5 on "Borderline" that sends an icy chill down my back.

[@desiharrison5183]

My favorite Brandy song is Necessary

[@ניראלקבץ]

Broken-hearted is my fave

[@motivatedwoman3065]

BORDERLINE & BIPOLAR IS MY FAV

[@takomasmith8246]

9:39 No Tomorrow (my favorite song)

[@spencerbennett7904]

my fav song on b7 is def either saving all my love, lucid dreams, or borderline it’s too hard to pick

[@fiercesapphire]

I love the fact that brandy is always experimenting wit different sounds

[@happymusicvibez-cleanmusic4523]

She is in a class of her own.

[@navynick7307]

B7 is really a great album; Say Something, No Tomorrow, I am More; She is loving herself. Borderline & Rather Be obviously knock hard.

My stooarting five fav brandy songs would be: Angel in disguise Wish your love away Acapella (somethings missing) When you touch me Love wouldn’t count me out

[@phillinsogood]

That “I’m the most jealous girl” part is my favorite part of Borderline lol it’s so melodic. As a brandy fan this was a solid album however some of the songs were a bit underwhelming to me. I know she specializes in harmonies & background vocals and were not in the 90’s I just wanted more upbeat songs & more dramatic songs lol. Lol I know she’s an R&B artist but I want her to give me a Pop song maybe a collab with Gaga idk

[@jessicat2304]

Wow thank you so much! That means so much to me 🖤And I agree!

[@HabeshaQween]

Great review! Yesss I loved Two Eleven, its a classic! And Human was such a raw and beautiful album! B7 was very different and my favorite song is Saving all my love. I feel like the rhythm of some of the songs drown out her voice.
