Human (Brandy album)

Human is the fifth studio album by American singer Brandy. It was released on December 5, 2008 by Epic Records, Knockout Entertainment and Koch Records. The album was Norwood's debut Epic Records release, following her split with Atlantic Records in 2005, and her reunion with longtime collaborator and mentor Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, who executively produced and wrote most of the album with his songwriting collective.

Despite being generally well-received by critics, Human debuted at number 15 on the US Billboard 200 with opening week sales of 73,000 copies, becoming Brandy's lowest-charting album since her eponymous debut (1994). As of 2012, Human has sold 214,000 copies in the United States, failing to match the commercial success of predecessors. While leading single "Right Here (Departed)" scored Norwood her biggest chart success since "Full Moon" (2002), the second and final "Long Distance" was not as commercially successful.

Human would become the only album Norwood recorded with Epic Records, after departing both the label and Roc Nation in 2009. In later years Norwood would reflect on the album, in 2012–2013 disliking the album itself and blaming its lackluster performance on a lack of vision from all involved parties, before admitting in 2022 that she was now fond of the album.
