I remember Brandy from when she first came out as a 13 yr old with 'I wanna be down'.
Heard a few songs from her after that but nothing that really caught my attention until 'Top of the World' and then 'You dont know me'.
So I bought the album and was pleasantly surprised.
I have on occasion bought a cd and ended up only liking a couple of tracks, but I have to say there is nothing I dont really like.
None of the tracks are what you could call very lively, 'Top of the world featuring Mase is about the most upbeat, followed by The Boy is Mine and You dont know me. excellent songs with heavy beats.
A song I discovered after splitting up with an ex was 'Have you Ever'. This song literally brought tears to my eyes. 'Almost doesn't count' is another deep song which im sure a lot of people could relate to (the girls anyway) as (sorry guys) you know how men never tend to go all the way emotionally, they generally like to hold back, well this is what this song is about.
Angel in Disguise and Learn the Hard way are nice mellow songs easy to listen to and if you liked Bryan Adams 'Everything I Do' then Brandy has put her own voice to this song which I think is quite good.
A good addition to anyone's collection. I think her best album so far.

Good review, she has got a lovely voice. But if you went through her tracks one at a time and said a little about each and gave me a more indepth opinion about the overall cd, i would definately re-read! But good as is. XX Sarah.

I adore this album, I have all three of Brandy's albums. Her voice is so amazing. I saw her live at the Royal Albert Hall and she was fantastic. :O) x
