Viewers of Brandy’s hit VH1 reality show ‘A Family Business’ will recall the singer’s disdain for 2008’s ‘Human’ – her most recent studio album. However, in a new interview with OUT.com, the 30 year old elaborated on her dislike of the LP and its chart performance.
Her comments after the jump…

Let’s talk about your most recent album, Human.
To hell with that album!
Why? You didn’t like it?
I believe a lot of the songs on that album have inspired some of the fans. In that respect it’s a blessing. But, where I felt creatively it could’ve gone and the space I was in creatively, I needed everybody around me to be in that same space.
What would you have liked out of that album?
First of all, it would’ve been a different album, but with the same inspiration and same blessing for other people. It would’ve been hotter music and a hotter look. Number 1 on the charts! Platinum!
Which brings up a good point. Your career has slowed down over the years in terms of chart success. How does it feel when you’re no longer number 1?
It feels terrible. I say this in the most humble way, but I’m a winner. So, when a winner feels failure, it doesn’t feel right or good. It’s a like a champion who gets knocked out. That’s why I’m so hungry on making this next project about what feels good to my gut. When I follow my intuition or my creative guidance, there’s success.
Despite actually enjoying ‘Human’, I must give kudos where they’re due; it’s not often an artist displays such frankness – especially about their own project. One can only hope the stars align for her this time around.http://thatgrapejuice.net/2010/09/brandy-hell-human/#more-19636
i feel this album was truly an inspirational after what she went through and plenty of others who deal with situations but i wish she didn't throw this album under the bus as it was so awful but it didn't have the commercial success like her previous album in the 90's
