Okay so I have to admit, up until this year I never really liked Brandy. Well, I didn’t hate her, I just didn’t care about her music. Those days are now over, thank goodness, and I’m never looking back!
For those of you who don’t who Brandy is (yeah, right) most teenage girls will know her for her song Have You Ever, and the majority of people know her as the girl from the show Moesha. Well, if you listened, you’d know she actually has a quite impressive discography! Here is a list of her albums:
- 1994 Brandy
- 1998 Never Say Never
- 2002 Full Moon
- 2004 Afrodisiac
- 2008 Human (Woo!)
Brandy also has a greatest hits, a good place to start listening.
Now I admit, I don’t really like Brandy, the album, as it’s really outdated and her singing isn’t all that great on it. The follow-up Never Say Never took four years to be released, but well worth it, the album is one of my favourite albums on this planet. I actually bought Never Say Never when I was, six? Still hard to believe the album is ten years old, yet I still adore The Boy Is Mine!
After another four years, a common thing for Brandy unfortunately, Full Moon was released – unknown to me. By this time I’d pretty much forgot who Brandy was. I downloaded it way earlier this year and was pleasantly surprised at how much artistic growth the album showed compared to Never Say Never, which I rediscovered at the same time, so it was a double whammy! I love double wammys!
Afrodisiac was released pretty soon after Full Moon by Brandy standards. It mainly featured Timbaland as producer, to my dismay. Turns out Timbaland wasn’t that bad back in 2004. What happened? His music is so dank and dusty nowadays! Anywho, it was a good album – if not a bit slow. Needed more upbeats.
In case you hadn’t already realised, Brandy’s ready to make her comeback with her new album called Human! I’ve never been more excited about a comeback since, well Britney’s one last year, but that disappointed me, so, therefore, whatever.
Back to Brandy now! Human’s been pushed back from November to December for the “finishing touches.” I can’t deny I’m a teency bit saddened. But but but, it’s only a month more, and the album will be improved by then I guess. Plus, we have the second single Long Distance, which I love!, to keep us pleased. It’s such a lovely, heartfelt song! Ballads truly are Brandy’s calling, just listen to Have You Ever.
