Hell, start with the Debut! I decided to go with NSN since I already know a couple of songs. Some thoughts: She came out SWINGING on those first 8 tracks. NSN's highs are better than Full Moon's, but Full Moon's ballads >>> I don't care for Bryan Adams and straight-up hate Diane Warren, but I ended up quite liking Have Your Ever? and Everything I Do. Brandy's vocals really improve those two compositions. One Voice... I'm gonna pass on that one. LOVE the harmonies on Put That on Everything. Overall, I still prefer Full Moon, but this is a pretty good album too.
Devin Posted August 17, 2023 Posted August 17, 2023 Not us making it to 3 pages already. We need more stans up in here. 1

What did you think of Tomorrow?

popularmoonlight Posted August 17, 2023 Posted August 17, 2023 Wow, I love Brandy so much. I discovered Full Moon last year and was obsessed with it. Now I listened to the album 'Brandy' and wow.. What a voice. Afrodisiac is THAT SONG. Timbarland basically reused so much stuff from this album on Justin Timberlake it's funny. There's a song with the exact same beat as Comes Around. Anyways, Brandy forever 1

I can't wait til you touch on Never Say Never and Two Eleven!

It's funny because both of them sound like something JT released later on, but I think in this case Focus is the one I was referring to! Another side note I got to add is I simply love how Timberland used those "baby voice" chop ups on Afrodisiac like he had previously used with Aaliyah. I really can't get enough. Never Say Never is up next for me!! I read somewhere how Full Moon, NSN and Brandy were her top 3 albums so I'm trying to get into these 3 before diving into her whole discography. EDIT: I got confused, and the album I've been listening to right now is Afrodisiac lol Edited August 17, 2023 by popularmoonlight

Power love Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 Why is Human & 2–11 so disrespected with stans. I think both albums are amazing & up there with Never Say Never! I just wish she released more singles from her projects. This two singles only thing she’s been doing since Full Moon 1
Virgos Groove Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 All this Diddy talk got me revisiting this BOP. Should've been a single.
Bey_Rihstan Posted September 24, 2023 Author Posted September 24, 2023 Been waiting on one of y'all to start this thread since they hijacked mine when the Old board left Anyway, TBIM has just reached 200M streams on spotify

While they're both good albums, they both have very few BRANDY-esque tracks. They're kind of soul less and mostly have songs that could go on several other albums out at the time Though I put 2/11 as her 4th best & Human above B7. For me: Full Moon Afrodisiac NSN 2/11 Brandy Human B7 Edited September 24, 2023 by Bey_Rihstan

TizTiz Posted November 3, 2023 Posted November 3, 2023 I am absolutely loving the new Christmas and glad that Motown is behind her. Hopefully promotion goes further than Twitter and Instagram, even though this is a Christmas album. I usually don't like Christmas songs that lean more so to R&B so heavily, but I love this song.
Sabandija Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) This album is so underrated. I absolutely love Wildest Dreams, definitely one of her best singles. Not Such Thing As Too Late, Without You, Scared Of Beautiful are really strong. When it was released my faves were Do You Know What You Have, Can You Hear Me Now and What You Need, though.
