Sean Garrett Praises Brandy's 'Two Eleven' LP, Hates 'Our Generation' - The BoomBox - AOL Music

Sean Garrett has been praised as one of the best R&B songwriters of the past decade, but on Saturday (Sept. 29) in Atlanta, he preferred to take the conversation off of himself. He only wanted to talk about one singer: Brandy.

"The Brandy album is all I'm talking about tonight," he told The BoomBox on the red carpet at the 2012 BET Hip Hop Awards. "That album is nuts. I just feel like... I couldn't believe that people were really ready to discount her as an incredible artist."

"I just hate that about our generation; we're so quick to dismiss greatness," he stated. "When other people can tour until they're 70 years old and we don't even embrace our people enough to encourage them and lift them up."

Garrett is mainly excited about bringing Brandy's new sound to the masses because he says it's what R&B is in need of these days. He and producer Bangladesh, who crafted the beat for her Chris Brown-assisted "Put It Down," knocked out six songs on the chanteuse's sixth LP, entitled Two Eleven.

"It's amazing," Garrett continued. "I actually keep talking about it but it's really, really dope. If y'all love 'Put It Down,' if y'all love 'Wildest Dream,' just wait."

Two Eleven is slated for release Oct. 16.

In 2003, L.A. Reid signed him as a songwriter and Garrett's ballad "I Don't Want To Hurt You" was placed with Motown crooner Latif. Then came "Yeah!" from Usher featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris. "Yeah!" hit #1 R&B/Hip-Hop, remained at the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 consecutive weeks, and was named BMI's 2005 Urban Song Of The Year.

An avalanche of other #1s has followed, among them "Goodies" from Ciara featuring Petey Pablo (#1 Pop and R&B/Hip-Hop), "Ring The Alarm" from Beyoncé (#1 Dance), "Like This" from Kelly Rowland featuring Eve (#1 Dance), "Buttons" from The Pussycat Dolls featuring Snoop Dogg (#1 Dance), "Dimelo" from Enrique Iglesias (#1 Latin), "London Bridge" from Fergie (#1 Pop), and the Dance #1s "Lose My Breath" and "Soldier" from Destiny's Child.
