Brandy stated that she felt the reason her last album 'Human' wasn't commercially successful was because it was "too deep & personal", and that she needed to record the album to come to terms with the accident and to "release the load". She also revealed that she thinks people nowadays want to hear "club" records, but that's not what Human was about. She wasn't too disappointed about the sales though because many fans have told her that the album helped them through the hard times and to her that's an even better form of success.
Brandy then addressed something that a lot of fans have been wondering about Human - why didn't some of the amazing B-sides & leaks make the record? She said that a lot of people & politics are involved in those decisions, and that she never wanted 'Right Here (Departed)' to be the lead single, and that she also never wanted 'Talk About Our Love' to be the first single from 'Afrodisiac'. In fact, she wanted the unreleased track 'Locked In Love' to be Human's first single, and that she will be in "the drivers seat" for her next album because it's her music and she needs to follow her "inner voice".
The next album will be "less heavy" than Human, but just as meaningful like all her albums have been. The currently untitled project's theme will be "love", and will feature production from The-Dream, Pharrell, and Stargate, with hopes to work with Timbaland & Kanye West. Brandy also revealed that she will be writing on the album, and when pressed for a release date she would only say "sooner rather than later".
