Today, Brandy released her new album, B7, her first in eight years. She told Billboard that she was hesitant to release the record at first: "I'm thinking, 'My music is not about exactly what's going on right now.'"

Happily, she reconsidered: "But then I thought, 'But this is the time where people need to feel like they have something to just escape and just help them heal"... So that's what made me feel better about releasing [the album]."

And clearly, her final decision was the right one. Her fans seem ecstatic about the album, and took to Twitter to say so, just hours after B7 dropped. Here's a sample of what her fans are saying:

Brian has been working in pop culture and media for about three decades: he’s worked at MTV, VH1, SiriusXM, CBS and Loudwire. Besides working as a writer and an editor-in-chief, he’s also appeared on air as a pundit, guested on radio shows and hosted podcasts. Over the years, he’s interviewed the surviving members of Led Zeppelin, the members of U2, Beyonce, Pink, Usher, Stevie Nicks, Lorde… and is grateful to have had the chance to interview Joe Strummer of the Clash and Tom Petty.
