Brandy is set to return with her first album in nearly eight years, b7.
Ahead of its release later this month, the R&B veteran has revealed the tracklist. The 15 tracks include the single “Baby Mama” with Chance the Rapper, plus the Daniel Caesar collaboration “Love Again.” Her 18-year-old daughter Sy’rai appears on the mother-daughter duet “High Heels.”
The confessional project, described as her most personal to date, explores Brandy’s journey over the past few years and features production by DJ Camper (H.E.R., Tamar Braxton) and the late LaShawn Daniels (“The Boy Is Mine,” “What About Us”), along with Hit-Boy (“Baby Mama”). Victoria Monét also lends her pen to “Rather Be.”
b7 marks Brandy’s first full-length release since 2012’s Two Eleven, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
“I felt like I wanted to just be as honest as possible with this new project,” Brandy told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. “I wanted to approach this project like if this was my last chance, if this was my last shot at creating music, what would this project be about? What would it sound like? Would I just bare it all? Would I tell my story as deep as I could tell it? And I wanted to, of course, stay true to R&B but at the same time go outside of the box.”
b7 arrives July 31. See the tracklist below.
