Brandy finds true love that's too good to be true in just released new music video for her heartfelt ballad, "Wildest Dreams," the second cut lifted from her latest sixth studio album, "Two Eleven." We're fully thrilled that the 32-year-old R&B songstress is back on the scene and adding fuel to the fire. She's first reemerged with her Chris Brown-assisted "Put It Down," and now she's let us into her inner-psyche via her latest jam, "Wildest Dreams."
"Wildest Dreams" is a mid-tempo classic R&B ballad with a laidback tone, which was inspired by R&B music from the 1990s and has lyrically which speak about the disbelief for finding love again. Brandy said that the song was inspired by newfound love with her real-life boyfriend Ryan Press. The song focuses on falling in love and it feeling better than one could have imagined. During the course of the song, vulnerable Brandy mentions herself several times, over the thwacking percussion and production.
"Wildest Dreams" is one of the album's highlights, and it manages to be both strong and vulnerable at the same time, something that could also be said about the album as a whole. The track kicking off with a hard-knocking throwback beat, the opening seconds pit two familiar Brandys against each other - an ethereal flurry of stacked harmonies against a robotic delivery reminiscent of her style on 2002's futuristic-sounding "Full Moon," with a raw, almost abrasive rasp in her lush vocals, complemented by a needle-on-vinyl crackle looped in the background.
The video was directed by Matthew Rolston, and did not really match the song as there was no concept to it whatsoever. And it shows as Brandy glows in her stylish. She brings a few friends along, struts around and shows off her new dances moves performing at an abandoned warehouse in L.A. with some of her fans in the audience. While Brandy clearly had fun shooting the visual, it would have been nice to see her channeling how happy she is in her new relationship and seeing how in love she is.
