Singer Brandy has unveiled her seventh album B7 after an eight-year break.
The 15-track album is co-written and co-produced by Brandy. It also has collaborations with Chance the Rapper, Daniel Caesar and her daughter, Sy’rai, reports a website. B7 released on July 31 via her record label Brand Nu and eOne Urban.
After a five-year legal battle with her former label, Chameleon Entertainment, Brandy told Rolling Stone that she has finally found freedom with this record’s release.
“I put everything I could into this project. It was so freeing for me, because I did get a chance to really dig in and write from my heart of hearts,” Brandy said.
“I was able to really get a lot of things off of my chest, really use music as a way to escape and heal.”
Although she reached a settlement with Chameleon in 2017, Brandy said she took her time releasing B7 to ensure it was her best work yet.
“I’m glad that I didn’t rush it because when you’ve been absent from music for so long you want to make sure that it’s your best work,” Brandy said. “For me, I approached this album like this is my last project. What would I want it to sound like? How would I want to express myself?” (IANS)
