Thus the sad fate of Brandy. She's currently pushing a generic new album
Two Eleven, out this week. But there was a moment back there, not too long ago, where it seemed like she was going to be an auteur.
Weary of being just the most impressive effect in longtime producer Rodney Jerkins bag of tricks, Brandy ditched him. She turned instead to the equally hot but significantly quirkier Timbaland and his protégé Walter Millsap III.
The result was Afrodisiac, the best album of Brandy's career and one of the greatest R&B albums of the last 25 years.
You could make distinctions if you really wanted to—personally, I'd say this set of songs is worse than the largely ignored Human,
but better than the beloved-yet-boring 2002 Full MoonOH WOW
