Watching Brandy work a room in "Put It Down" is pretty hot. The R&B singer has always had a firework for a voice, and she earned a killer single to put it to use.
As I noted in my review of the track before, I don't have much use for Chris Brown on the single -- not just because I think his name taints the appeal of a Brandy comeback -- but because his overtly processed voice has no place in a track with an emphasis put on a minimal beat and big vocal performance.
And thankfully, he's not in the vid too much.
This is Hype Williams' second video premiere in the last 24 hours, and this one hits much harder than the nauseating "I Wish You Would"/"Cold" from Kanye West, DJ Khaled and friends. This is big splashes of bold colors -- Williams' specialty -- and some fresh moves from Brandy and her merry band of street dancers. Brown, meanwhile, dons his favorite pair of painters overalls and pretends to flirt with Brandy. Their chemistry is like that of a cat to a vacuum cleaner.
"Put It Down" -- which, I repeat, is a damn fine song -- is off of Brandy's forthcoming set "Two Eleven," due via RCA on Oct. 2. It will also feature guest spots from Frank Ocean, Sean Garrett and Drake.

If you don't like him or his music, then stop writing articles about him.
Pathetic, if you ask me.
AJ You know what else is pathetic? Men who beat up their girlfriends.
August 14, 2012 at 9:22PM ESTMonica Word to the wise let it go.
August 14, 2012 at 9:35PM ESTYou must love living in the past..
Alicia Agreed team breezy. Aj understand where you are coming from but at the same even a man can be pushed to a breaking point Rihanna's family even vouched for Chris so in the end I think I goes both ways man nor woman should hit or beat either one remover abuse goes both ways this coming from a person who watched her father get his ass beat constantly by my mom because of how people feel about men hitting women he never struck back. i hate the double standard it's wrong both ways but a man shouldn't be abused as well and expected to take it. Coming from a woman I see both sides
