Hard to
believe but Brandy has been making records for a decade now so I guess
the time is ripe for a best of so far package, the best known song on
here is her smash hit duet with Monica The Boy Is Mine and a lot of her
early material is in that poppy - R N B vein whilst the later tracks opt
for a more hip hop vibe.
The Boy Is
Mine probably saw Brandy at the height of her powers, as well as the
record she was starring in successful sitcom Moesha as well as appearing
in movies Cinderella and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, some of
the later tracks on this compilation show surprising depth, especially
her cover of Phil Collins Another Day in Paradise, which manages to
surpass the original, there is also the feisty I Wanna Be Down the
remixed version of which features Queen Latifah, Yoyo and MC Lyte.
Whilst Brandy
has never been one of those acts that has broken boundaries or changed
the musical playing field she has give us more than a few R&B tunes
to help us through.
