Brandy, by far one of the most talented singers of her generation, has seen her commercial success dwindle in recent years. A lot of this could be attributed to her inability to figure out her place as an artist. She has struggled with finding the right sound and maintaining her commercial relevancy. As she has forayed more into pop music she has distanced herself from her R&B roots, to her detriment.
Her last lead-off single, Right Here(Departed) from the Human album, was an inspirational pop mid-tempo, and struggled to find consistent rotation on the airwaves, and essentially doomed the project as a whole. Right Here (Departed) lacked the sassy vocal stylings and infectious grooves of her earlier hits and what audiences have come to associate her with. But "Put It Down" puts Brandy right back on track.
With its hard bassline and grittyness, this song is very different from what many have come to expect from her; yet she brings the undeniable essence of Brandy to the song with her beautifully delivered vocals, harmonies (and even rapping) and you come to realize that this song actually has Brandy all over it. The song is produced by Bangladesh and written by Sean Garrett and the three of them have an undeniable chemistry- something Brandy has lacked with a creative team since she parted ways with her former collaborator, Rodney Jerkins. I have to give props to Sean Garrett for writing a simple, yet unforgettable tune. The best thing I can say about the songwriting is that it is smart; its simple, but not dumbed-down, very catchy, and it is free of the usual cliche's found in R&B/hip-hop music. Bangladesh (and co-producer Sean Garrett) delivered an infectious beat that stands out, yet doesn't overpower Brandy's beautiful vocals; they compliment each other perfectly. Chris Brown added a nice jolt of energy but Brandy gets the listener's attention so fast, he really isn't needed.
The song is everything you would expect from a summer hit and everything you would expect from a diva trying to take back her crown. It may be one of the best uptempos of Brandy's career- it's authentic, sassy, and confident and has an incredibly infectious melody. If you are a Brandy fan you should be proud- I know I am.

Not the greatest I've ever heard, but I still like it
I listen to it a lot but not as much as others. Good rhythm. There is nothing bad about it though I wouldn't say it's the best song I've ever listened to. It's fun though.

Brandy.
I was expecting much more from Brandy. I think she's going through an identity crisis in her music career. It's effecting the quality of her music.

Put it Down (Brandy ft Chris Brown)
I was pleasantly surprised when I found out this was Brandy's song. I heard it a few times and I was clueless because it's not something she would normally put out. Read more

I like this song it is very catchy and showcases her ability to rap but I think that it would have been a bigger hit if she was younger. Read more
