Brandy is well on her way back onto the music scene with her newly released sleek and futuristic clip for the catchy enough jam, "Put It Down," featuring fellow R&B singer Chris Brown, serve as the lead single off of her upcoming sixth studio album, "Two Eleven," set to be released October 16, and it is the first comeback album since 2008's "Human."It is an up-tempo R&B song featuring tinny percussion and canned claps. Lyrically, it features Brandy complementing a prospective beau on his swag. Later, Brown adopts a Nicki Minaj-like vocal delivery and jumps on with a Hip-Hop-inspired verse. Brandy swaggers like we haven't heard her swagger before, matching the beats boldness with smooth yet forceful lines. She has always had a firework for a voice, and earned a killer single to put it to use. The single is straight out of the US R&B factory.
"It's called 'Put It Down,' but I like to call it 'Fall in Love,'" the 33-year-old told The Boombox. "But no one else likes that title. It's so new and so fresh. It's just a different vibe. It's R&B meets Hip-Hop and it's edgy and gritty, but it's about love, which is something we all want to experience and stay in love. I want to stay in love." The song is simple in its message, in the sense it is a bit of a love song, and Brandy does well, so we hope this comeback to relevancy works out for her.
Brandy takes it back to the old school, bringing modern art to the streets and rocking her signature braids from her "Sittin Up in My Room" days in this Hype Williams-directed vibrant video. The "Long Distance" songstress and Brown are seen flirting with each other while singing their respective vocal flavor on the hood of a white Ferrari, show off their moves together, get a little closer than expected and embrace their colorful surroundings switch from a dark night to a paint-splattered colorful wall.
