Mariah's Masterclass & The Roof (When I Feel The Need) ft. Brandy

I thought this was going to be based on songwriting but regardless, here for it!

If she's not drunk in every episode, I'm not watching.

FINALLY I can learn how to hit the top of my soprano.

Not to mention how to ketchup like tomato.

She announced during the below Instagram Live that this will incorporate a version of The Roof recorded with Brandy

The clip of Brandy at 0:53 doing The Roof (When I Feel The Need) (!) sounds fantastic - with original MC vocals I note with interest

 

[dUb]

WELL

She did a really good job of revisiting a stone groove smash hit wonder and Brandy sounds fab (but what's the point)

 

[KindaCool]

It's alright. I like the new bits she added, especially the whistle at the climax. And her voice sounds less thin and strained than usual.

I can barely hear Brandy though. Mariah said "You finna sit in the BACK"

 

[Berly]

I love it. I guess the point is it’s a vanity project for her, she has an enduring love for the song, it’s her personal favourite and has felt there’s been a lack of a moment for it (despite being a clear lamb fave) with the labels refusal to support it as a single so good for her. It’s gorgeous.

 

[dUb]

Really want to see this. Is there a Rula Lenska for Masterclass

 

[Loufoque]

This is delicious.

Brandy should become Mariah's permanent backing vocalist.

 

[Loufoque]

I saw that The Roof had its best streaming day ever. While I'm here for it getting its flowers, I love that it's the definitive deep cut of all of music history.

Brandy drive-by post: this is so beautiful, I can't pretend.
