Brandy was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. The single "Baby" was nominated for a 1996 Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.
Brandy Norwood, the teen television actress on "Thea," began making waves in the pop world with her debut album BRANDY and her Top 10 single "I Wanna Be Down." The album is young, bubbly, and even sexy. Brandy's soul-touched R&B sound mixes sweetly with her jazz-inflected flourishes. Her themes are the concerns of any 15-year old. The midtempo "I Wanna Be Down" deals with teenage desire, "I Dedicate" pays tribute to her musical inspirations and her family, "Best Friend" is a paean to her brother (also a television actor), and "Give Me You" is a piano-driven, upbeat religious affirmation, effectively showcasing her gospel roots.
Her strong voice is more than competent enough to handle the sometimes tricky musical changes. She often displays a breathy, low-register vocalizing that is mature and controlled. Brandy, who also co-wrote some of the material, displays the musical chops to join the league of some of the influential artists she acknowledges in "I Dedicate." She is not a dilettante actress trying to conquer a new field--Brandy is the VSOP of the new school.

Beginning of Brandy's success
I remember I was 4 when this album came out and every time I would hear "Baby" on the radio, I would bob my head and sing, "Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby." My mom bought this album and it was HOT!! I'm so glad that she proved to people that she wasn't a one hit wonder. My favorite song on this album is BROKENHEARTED. WHOOOOOOOO!! tHAT'S MY SONG! I can't listen to that cd and only play that song once, my finger stays on the repeat button.

Purchase Brandy CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | R Kelly R. CDs (1998)
Brandy
 $15.95  
R. was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best R&B Album. "I'm Your Angel" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals. "When A Woman's Fed Up" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.
R. Kelly proves that he's as prolific as he is talented on the two-disc set R., which not only culls together his most noteworthy and successful work, but is bursting with new tracks as well. Filled from start to finish with Kelly's unique blend of smooth vocal stylings and no-nonsense lyrical stance, this album also features the work of a few of his prominent friends--the opener, "Home Alone" sports a guest rap courtesy of Keith Murray, while "Money Makes The World Go Round" is graced by Nas.
A more mainstream pairing is witnessed in the dramatic show stopper "I'm your Angel," which finds Kelly alongside superstar Celine Dion, but the collaboration which really makes its mark is "We Ride," which features Cam'Ron, Noreaga, Jay-Z and Vegas Cats in a veritable who's who of Hip Hop's brightest stars. As if all this weren't enough, the mega-hit "I Believe I Can Fly" is included for good measure. Newcomers to the world of R. Kelly will be attracted by the hits, but they're sure to stay for the instant classics and star-studded party jams which make up the rest of R.
Engineers include: Stephen George, Chris Puram, Charles McCrorey.
Personnel includes: R. Kelly (vocals, various instruments); Tone (rap vocals, programming); Rob Bacon, Greg Landfair, Keith Henderson, Jeff Vereb (guitar); Kendall D.

| | Monica Miss Thang CD (1995)
Brandy
$6.99
Samples include "Back Seat Of My Jeep" (as performed by LL Cool J), "Spoonin' Rap" (as performed by Sugar Hill Gang), and "Cutie Pie" (as performed by One Way).
In the ever-expanding school of teenage artists, Monica proves to be far ahead of her classmates. Toni Braxton-like vocals impress her adult audience, while the ghetto-driven music keeps her connected to her peers. Debuting with MISS THANG, Monica seizes the ground that other R&-wanna-B singers have barely trod.
MISS THANG breathed life back into the career-breaking smash single, "Don't Take It Personal." The album includes both that song and its remix, which combines the hit with Monica's interpretation of Jermaine Jackson's song of the same name. And while some seem to overdose on remakes, Monica keeps the covers to just one, the S.O.S. Band's "Tell Me If You Still Care." Although MISS THANG is colored with timeless ballads such as the Stacy Lattisaw-esque "Before You Walk Out Of My Life," songs like "Angel" show that Monica is also capable of a '90's sound. Her producers, including such prominent hit-makers as Dallas Austin, SoulShock, Tim Kelley and Bob Robinson, combine smooth grooves with brief elements of hip-hop. "Let's Straighten It Out," a duet with Usher that was originally recorded for the PANTHER soundtrack, is musically reminiscent of old-school R&B and sports a chorus from an old Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth song. Backed by Queen Latifah's Flavor Unit Management, Monica promises to keep you tuned to all 16 cuts of MISS THANG.

| | Brandy Never Say Never CD (1998)
Brandy
$6.35 
NEVER SAY NEVER was nominated for a 1999 Grammy Award for Best R&B Album. "The Boy Is Mine" won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal, and was nominated for Record Of The Year and Best R&B Song. "Almost Doesn't Count" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.
Avoiding the dreaded sophomore slump, Brandy delivers a fresh-sounding, well- crafted second album that sounds as much like pop as it does R&B. NEVER SAY NEVER features a song, "Have You Ever?," that was written by mega-songstress Diane Warren and produced by super-producer David Foster. The lead single, "The Boy is Mine" is a duet with fellow R&B'er Monica. Keeping up with the trend of big-time collaborations, multi-platinum rapper Mase makes an appearance on "Top of the World," which seems custom made for jeep jockeys.
Although sprinkled with other contributors, most of the album was produced by Rodney Jerkins. With a focus that is sometimes lost on a follow-up to a smashing debut, Brandy's composure and experience shine through in a product that is 16 songs deep. The album also contains a cover of "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)," produced by Foster.
Personnel includes: Brandy, Monica (vocals); Mase (rap); Dean Parks (acoustic guitar); Isaac Phillips, Rick Williams, Anas Allaf, Michael Thompson (guitar); The Darkchild Orchestra (strings); David Foster (piano, keyboards); Harvey Mason Jr. (keyboards); Nathan East (bass); Harvey Mason Sr. (percussion); Rodney Jerkins, Simon Franglen, Chuckii Booker, Felipe Elgueta (programming); Joe, Shelly Peiken, Bebe Winans, Mervyn Warrin, Willie R.

"The Boy Is Mine" won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal, and was nominated for Record Of The Year and Best R&B Song.
This College Park, Atlanta native began singing in her church choir when she was merely four years old. If you look at it from that perspective, the young singer is practically a veteran. She certainly sounds it on THE BOY IS MINE, a spicy R&B offering that brims with precociousness. Though Monica's got the vocal chops to carry the album alone, she's not afraid to expand the sonic palette a bit by working with a couple of carefully chosen guest artists. The title tune finds her in a duet with another young R&B sensation, Brandy, and the two women's voices make a perfect match. On "Gone Be Fine," Monica injects a little hip-hop into the mix, calling upon the substantial rapping talents of Outkast. Clive Davis himself co-produced THE BOY IS MINE, proof positive that Monica's talents have inspired as much confidence from the music industry as they have created admirers among R&B listeners.
Engineers include: Leslie Braithwaite, Carlton Lynn, Rico Lumpkins.
Personnel: Monica, Brandy (vocals); Isaac Phillips, Tomi Martin, Michael Thompson, Sonny Lallerstedt (guitar); The Darkchild Orchestra Strings (strings); Colin Wolfe (piano, bass); Dean Gant (piano); Dallas Austin (Wurlitzer piano); Daryl Simmons (keyboards, drum programming); David Foster (keyboards); Ronnie Garrett (bass); Tom Knight (drums); Scott Meeder (percussion); Felipe Elgueta, Glen Woodward, Simon Franglen (keyboard programming); John Robinson (drum programming); DJ Sol Messiah (scratches); Debra Killings, 112, Darcy Aldridge, Pamela Major, Chedlle Davis, Susan Ann Carwel, Jeff Pescetto (background vocals); Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
Producers include: Rodney Jerkins, Dallas Austin, David Foster, Jermaine Dupri, Daryl Simmons.
| | B G Chopper City CD (1999)
Brandy
$11.99
His lyrics detail crime scenarios, codes of street conduct and camradarie, and (most importantly, it seems) the process of making and keeping money. Titles such as "Cash Money Is An Army," "Made Man," "Cash Money Roll," and "'Bout My Paper"-among others-bear out this agenda. All are rendered with a combination of ease, bravado, and sophistication. Cameos from friends Big Tymers, Hot Boys, and Juvenile keep things varied throughout this solid collection of tracks.
One of Cash Money Records' highest profile artists, B.G. (short for Baby Gangster) kicks clever, darkly painted tales of ghetto life over heavy, rolling beats and subtly ominous, minor-key loops. What B.G.'s high, unaffected voice lacks in range and intonation is made up for in the pure flow of his delivery.
Parental Advisory
Personnel includes: B.G., Turk, Juvenile, Big Tymers, Hot Boys, Lil' Wayne, "Mac", Keisha (rap vocals).
| | Brandy Full Moon CD (2002)
Brandy
$6.15
FULL MOON was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary R&B Album.
The first couple of years of the 21st century proved to be a crowded field for photogenic young R&B-pop divas (Britney, Christina, Mya, the list goes on...). Many of these occupy a file in some folks' minds that's labeled "one-shot." FULL MOON serves to disprove such notions in the case of the in-it-for-the-long-haul siren Brandy. The album kicks off with a whisper, as the young songstress lets her voice gently caress the lush, balladic tones of the title track. Things kick into gear in short order though (on the very next tune, in fact) with "I Thought," where our girl lets her feelings of romantic disappointment out over a firm, funky backdrop full of heavy bass. By the time we reach the undulating "Can We," street-smart hip-hop influences have crept into the production aesthetic by way of squiggling synths and forceful beats. Throughout FULL MOON, whether she's belting it out or sneaking in the back door, Brandy lets her listeners know she's more than just a flash in the pan.
2002 album, featuring the single 'What About Us?'. 17 tracks.
Engineers include: Paul Foley, Fabian Marascuillo, Jim Bottari.
Personnel includes: Brandy, Michael Jackson, LaShawn "Big Shiz" Daniels, Ray J (vocals); Isaac Phillips, Aaron Fishbeind, Blake English (guitar); Kimbo (violin); Larry Gold (cello); Stuart Brawley, Jason Derlatka (piano); Rodney Jerkins (Wurlitzer piano); Gerald Hayward (drums); Teddy Riley (talkbox).
