Hello hello, it is queer pop hoe and I am back again from a hiatus! I have been so busy with school and work that i have not had time for doing my blog. Today though I have no assignments to do and some energy. Today's blog post will be mini album reviews for two very different artists. I got around to listening to B7 and Women in Music PT III yesterday during a slow period at work. I have thoughts on both, but one more so than the other. So let's jump into this.. Starting with Brandy's B7.
Brandy B7(2020)
Let's talk quickly about the cover art! I freaking love this cover art. She looks absolutely beautiful and the gold 7 makeup effect is dope! It is Afrocentric nostalgic but futuristic realness and I love it.
That is probably the nicest thing I am going to say about the album, but before you drag me hear me out. Brandy is one of my fave artists and I love most of her music. So going into B7 I was quite excited to hear the album. I am gonna keep it short and sweet by separating the album into Positives and negatives. Then I will list the songs I think are standouts! Let's begin.
THE POSITIVES
- vocals ๐
- production๐
- visuals๐
- songwriting๐
Her vocals are always on point so I knew I was in for smooth harmonies, great vocal control, sweet runs and range for days.
Production wise it is perfection. The beats, the way the songs flow, the art direction, all good. The visuals also go hand in hand with his as well.
The songwriting is good! Especially track 6 "Borderline". It is an amazing song about mental health that resonated with me.

The Negatives
- it is just okay ๐
- she didn't take risks ๐
- very safe ๐
