“It takes a village to raise em, we don’t do it all by ourselves,” Brandy soulfully delivers on her newly released single, “Baby Mama,” featuring Chance The Rapper.
Produced by Hit-Boy & Brandy, “Baby Mama” features classic vocal tones and stacked harmonies, unique to her sound. The song serves as an ode to raising her daughter Sy’rai and a larger anthem to all mothers working hard to support their family. Brandy also coos, “This song ain’t just for me, it’s for every mama yeah…Every day I breathe it’s for my little mama…I’m every woman and a baby mama.”
About the song, Brandy says, “My new single is about embracing the strength and fortitude needed not only in motherhood but in life. I am thrilled that Chance joined me on this track, and I hope my fans find it as uplifting as I intended it to be!”
The supported music video was directed by Derek Blanks, with creative director Frank Gatson. The clip features a glowing and vibrant Brandy as she grooves to choreographed dance moves. Chance The Rapper’s verse corresponds with the song’s theme by providing support to women.
