Standing On the Edge Of this Industry

Advantages: Amazing Voice, Her Music Continues To Improve And Mature
Disadvantages: Not All Her hits, A Little Bit Rushed

...ratings smash. Here is 'The Best of Brandy' an album chronicling her amazing journey with her former record company……. Track List and Brief Comments! Baby: As it is one of Brandy's first ever singles, it has a more poppy edge than much of her other stuff, and I don't feel that she has truly found her voice yet, but it is a fairly mature pop record, Brandy's voice is more than impressive for a fourteen year old and it is ...
...but enjoyable enough 7/10 Best Friend: Is a song that I quite like, it is about the relationship between best friends and how they evolve and change our lives.. The vocals are very soulful and smooth and the lyrics have at least a smigen of depth. The opening is jazzy and funky and the whole of the backing track is quite lively, which helps compliment Brandy's rich tones. A fun one, but only average for Brandy 7/10 Wanna Be Down: Is another early ...

Review of Best Of Brandy, The - Brandy

Brandy at her best...

Advantages: RnB, Soul, Dance, Chill out, Upbeat tracks, great tracks, great lyrics
Disadvantages: None

In my opinion, 'Full Moon' is Brandy's best album to date.. I recall listening to this album a great deal in my university days after a friend of mine made me a copy:) to add to my RnB collection. 'Full Moon' is Brandy's third album released in 2002 and it was definitely a cut above the previous couple albums. Although 'Full Moon' was the main single off this album and was the main hit off it, most of the tracks on the album were hits to me and any ...
...album were the slow tracks mainly and Brandy's smooth (almost slightly husky) voice and vocal ability which are showcased really well on this album. The best tracks on the album in my opinion are: 'Full Moon' which is a combination of slow RnB with an slightly upbeat rythm and soundtrack that made it very popular. 'What about Us' was also one of the more popular tracks on this album. It is one of the more upbeat tunes with good lyrics, an upbeat ...

Review of Full Moon - Brandy

Please Come Give A Dose To Me

Advantages: great souns, tells a story
Disadvantages: some weak songs

Brandy has always been an artist I greatly respected. I have liked her since her days on TV show Moesha and her singing days from 'The Boy Is Mine'. I really loved her albums from her last 'Full Moon' and this one is even better. This is Brandy's fifth album and after being married having a baby she has definitely grown up a lot. This album has a whole new sound and few flaws. TRACKLISTING 1.Who I Am 2.Afrodisiac 3.Who Is She 2 ...
...6.Where You Wanna Be ft T.I 7.Focus 8.Sadiddy 9.Turn It Up 10.Necessary 11.Say You Will 12.Come As You Are 13.Finally 14.How I Feel 15.Should I Go 1.WHO I AM This is like an intro, I always think these should be good because if not this could be the deciding point as to whether to keep on listening or to get easily bored. Here, Brandy plays it safe by going for an inbetween sound not too upbeat not too ballad like just calming. I don't ...

Review of Afrodisiac - Brandy

Safe as F*ck - Goldie Lookin' Chain

Advantages: Brilliantly observed songs, great lyrics & catchy tunes
Disadvantages: Will offend those of more delicate sensibilities

I'm no fan of rap - I've always been of the opinion that 99% of it is spelt with a silent c if you see what I mean. I did however like the GLC single 'Your Missus Is A Nutter' and on the offchance, bought this album as a download. I thought it might have the odd good track but found myself grinning like a loon throughout the entire album. Goldie Lookin' Chain for those unfamiliar with them are a Welsh rap band who specialise in funny songs full ...
...with catchy tunes. Not normally my thing (well, not since my twenties, anyway) but there's something about GLC that works for me in a big way 1.: Intro. This is just a filler and one to skip. 2.: Your Missus Is A Nutter. A hit single when released and probably familar to most people. This one talks about someone's girlfriend and describes their drinking, fighting and generally over the top behaviour. A great backing track makes this a perfect example ...

Review of Safe As Fuck - Goldie Lookin' Chain

Her Time To Shine

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: A few weka tunes

In 2008 came the second album from the London-based singer and rapper Estelle (Swaray). By the time she had released “Shine”, her sophomore album, she had broken into the mainstream as she had moved on her music by re-locating to the USA and linked up with some big players in the R&B and Hip Hop game to help her out along the way. 1. “Wait” Getting the album underway comes what came as the first single from the album and a pretty hit in itself as ...
...by dropping this heavy jam as she links up with will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas and with him on the production, you see that here he decides to come out with a fly jam where he mixes the two things that she is best known for and gets it off to a great start. **Four Stars** 2. “No Substitute Love” I saw this as a killer tune from the singer and one that stands as one of my most favoured singles from the album as you see that here you get a nice little ...
