I was about 15 during my this era. I feel like I was finally able to understand how ridiculous Brandy is musically and vocally. Before then I was a fan, had liked all her singles and watched Moesha and her movies but I didn%u2019t grasp what she does with her harmonies/layers, her runs and her timbre/texture. It%u2019s not for kids

Its not for kids and I will cut you some slack because of our age difference BUT FM could have TAUGHT you this. But you were of age during Afro so.

Because when I heard the last 30 seconds of HE IS.

I just.

had never.

Full Moon is actually what did it for me more than Afrodisiac. I was loving Afrodisiac, but my friends in high school were like %u201Cyea, Full Moon is still better%u201D
I had bought  Full Moon on my 13th birthday and I played the singles mainly and I Thought but everything else was too weird for my young ears. But in 2004 when I replayed When You Touch Me I was floored. Then Apart, All In Me I was hooked

She slid over that beat makes no sense whatsoever.

Apart was when I finally heard how much Brandy drop kicks Monica vocally and melodically. To think I used to think Monica was the better vocalist makes me wanna puke.

Yes she shown her whole ass on that album.

[Micheal Watson]

I was indifferent to the album when it first came out. From my first listen I was wowed with maybe two songs.  The press kept hyping up her working with Tim; it was all lackluster to me. I found some of the beats to be weird, and couldn't compete with his past work. I felt it lacked uptempos and radio records and Songs like "Focus" went on way too long imo. It has grown on me but I still believe it could have been better.

As for the marketing, Benny did his thang. She was everywhere and was seen; everyone knew she had a cd coming out. The way he had her over every black magazine was dope to me. Every week she was on somebody's tv show, and airing on the 3 music channels constantly with (hosting 106 & park, making the videos etc)  I was very impressed with this push!

I recall going to borders books, and listening to the album at one of those stations. I didn't like it at all, and in fact didn't buy it. It was like what is this??

I listened again, purchased it, and fell in love. My favorite album to date

*fav album of all time

[Cowgirl]

I was so young and thought it was cute but not the best single at the time but TAOL is an amazing song. It's so grand/epic-sounding. Legendary even. I feel like it embodies Ghan today, would love for her to revisit that sound/vibe.

I could definitely agree with that.

[DopeSoul.]

and I have always advocated for TAOL.

Its GOD tier

!

And it was instant for me

It baffles me how ppl didn't like it

[Demetri La Robyn 🤴🏾]

What's baffling about it? Music is subjective; not every listener will react the same to a song. That's life, it makes the world go around.
