Reviews Customer Reviews for Brandy Brandy Rating: Excellent debut from another vocally mature young lady. Brandy debuted at a time when there was a bit of a vacuum for really young singers in the r&b music field. Initially a lot of people wrote her off or chose not to view her as a serious artist because she was so young at the time but once they got to listen to the music without prejudice towards her age, they realized that she was a very talented artist who was going to be around for a long time.
I loved everything about Brandy - her sultry vocals, her sweet persona & how involved her parents were in her imaging (they carefully avoided the over-sexualized "Lolita-esque" image which helped Brandy grow up with her fans).
I also love that although this album debuted in 1994, it doesn't sound dated to me. My favorite tracks are: BABY, BEST FRIEND, I WANNA BE DOWN, SUNNY DAY, ALWAYS ON MY MIND, LOVE IS ON MY SIDE & GIVE ME YOU.
Although I enjoyed her rendition of BROKEN HEARTED - I prefer the version with Wanya Morris so couldn't add the track to my list of faves.
I'd highly recommend this disc to Brandy fans, r&b fans and to those who are just curious about what music in this era sounded like.
