B7 is the upcoming seventh studio album by American singer Brandy. The album is set to be released on July 31, 2020 through Brandy's Brand Nu, Inc. and Entertainment One. It marks Brandy's first studio album in eight years since Two Eleven (2012).

Background

"I didn’t know the world was going to be in the place that it’s in right now, but I mean, everybody needs music right now. Everybody needs to feel uplifted so it’s a good time and R&B is in a great place right now as well."

— Norwood during an interview with HuffPost.

B7 has been in production since 2018. During an interview with the HuffPost' Taryn Finley, Norwood said that despite feeling pressure she was letting her "authentic experiences inform her music". Despite feeling vulnerable and in relation to the global COVID-19 pandemic, Norwood said "It all aligned... I didn’t plan it like this, but it just happened to fall in the same space so I'm happy about that." Finely asked Norwood to elaborate on why the time was right for new music, Norwood said "Well, I felt like I'm in a great place in my music. I feel very strong about my music, confident about where I am with it. I believe in it, and I just felt like this was the time". Describing the album as authentic and her most personal to date, Norwood said that fans could expect her "entire heart" on the album, with themes of "love and heartache and coming into own and finding own self love". Speaking about the process of making the album, Norwood was clear about the dedication she put into the project, "I've dedicated the last couple of years of my life to new music, my new project. It's taken me a while, but I'm so happy about the focus and work ethic I've put into this project."

Artwork

The album's cover art and title were unveiled on May 7, 2020. The cover pays homage to Norwood's idol Whitney Houston's look from the 1992 film The Bodyguard. In the image, Norwood is pictured face forward towards the camera with "beads cascading down her forehead".

Promotion and singles

In March 2020, it was announced that Norwood would release her debut single "Baby Mama" featuring American recording artist Chance The Rapper on the American talk show The Talk. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the single was postponed and soon released on May 1, 2020. Prior to the single's release, Norwood later appeared on Good Morning America on May 7, 2020 to perform the song live during the 2020 Spring Concert Series, where she would announce her seventh album and reveal the album cover respectively.
