Brandy Gives New Life to R&B with New Single ‘Wildest Dreams’ + Rolling Stone Reviews ‘Two Eleven’
by Karen
With Brandy on a very bright road back to the top, the R&B songstress delivers the next single off of her highly anticipated album ‘Two Eleven‘. The single is titled Wildest Dreams and is written by Sean Garrett featuring production from Tha Bizness. A beat that is reminiscent of the Brandy we have grown so used to, the song is about a that one person who surpassed her expectations of love and caring for her. This is one of the many songs that received rave reviews from Rolling Stone, as they were one of the many media outlets to attend the listening session for her new album. Check out what RS had to say about the album after the jump and let us know: Can Brandy’s efforts to bring back true R&B survive in this new Pop driven world?
Throughout Two Eleven, a nod to her birthday and the date of mentor Whitney Houston’s death, Brandy is as quick to pledge allegiance to lovers as she is to scorn them. On the upcoming Sean Garrett-penned single “Wildest Dreams,” the follow-up to lead track “Put It Down” (featuring Chris Brown), the emotional rug is pulled from under her: “Never in my wildest dreams did I think someone could care ’bout me/ Not just the way you love me, but you know I’m emotional (sometimes),” she croons over a thwacking beat courtesy of Tha Bizness.
Producer Bangladesh helms the wobbly, club-geared “Let Me Go,” which features an interpolation of Lykke Li’s “Tonight,” as well as the oiled slow jam “So Sick,” written by Garrett, where the singer shoves off a violating lover (“How far do you think I’ll let you push me before I cross the line?”). Mike WiLL Made It, known for ratchet anthems including Meek Mill’s “Tupac Back” and Gucci Mane’s “Too Sexy,” shows his softer side with “Do You Know,” where Brandy cuts down her man for failing to return her affections.
