Trying to introduce a (white) vocalist friend to Brandy's vocal masterpieces in her catalog, deep cuts, etc, including unreleased.
What would you list? Share below
I mean they're all good :trannyjblige:
But she's sang in so many different styles. Might want to choose something from every Era
Brokenhearted, I'm yours
I thought, when you touch me
Maybe "Follow Me" from unreleased. She did stacks, ad libs and runs for days, just wish we had it in higher quality
"No such thing as too late " - specifically starting from the bridge on
Some of her most powerful/beautiful vocals
From the lead to the backgrounds
Kwee went a lil Bethesda Baptist youth choir on the gorls

You either have the ear or you don't...tell her to do her own research and come back to you in 30 days to see what she foundt
:plea:
He Is came to mind
Nothing
Locket (Locked in Love)
NSTATL is so underrated ugh
Locked in love :plzstop: :plzstop: yes yes yes
it's not in the running for best vocal, but you need to introduce ha to "nodding off" just cause it's an essential
:trannyjblige:
Perfect Love
Tomorrow's another day
Stand Back
Romeo and Juliet
For me, it's Slower.
gonna have to add this to the list.
whoever was in that studio with GHan really got her in that POCKET vocally.
so clean, crisp..multi-layers everywhere but perfectly placed in terms of timing and quantity....
they really brought out GHan's complete vocal ability in a way it hadn't been brought out in a few years IMO.
truly using her voice as an instrument.
the acapella of this mess would be fuckin crazy. i guarantee it

this comment on the vid pretty much sums it up perfectly:
QuoteBrandy Brandy Brandy... Her vocals are so free on this record, her voice really soars, her buttery tone is immaculate and the way she effortlessly weaves in and out of those riffs and runs is inhuman. Her colorful voice creates a mood in this song that is so empowering, she really tells a story in her vocal performance. Wow wow wow
"Optimistic" is her absolute best vocal on record
How i feel
Nothing
Should i go
Begging & Pleading
Love wouldn't count me out

IMO that's Beggin and Pleadin. If anyone ever said to me Brandy's vocals aren't that great, thats the song I'd play for them. I'd also play Without You. I remember a friend of mine said Brandy is decent and I played Without You around the time of Two Eleven's release and she was shocked.
Toss Sweet Nothings and Camouflage in the mix since it has a more pop flair for white ears, and those are my 4 picks.

in that vein
I think deliver me is up there as one of her best vocal performances
Come A Little Closer has her adlibs, iconic tone, harmonies and she's belting down in the mess
yea, that. :unbothered:
One song u can never go wrong with is When You Touch Me too
The brightness and fullness of her voice really comes through on some of her more pop like stuff...a few standouts for me would be:
Gonna Find My Love
Perfect Love
One Thing
Love Me The Most
Bring it Back
I know those all aren't pop, but those stand out to me off the top of my head right now.
Pure Vocals - Brokenhearted (original)
Tone - Put that on Everything
Vocal Stacks - Learn the Hard Way
Harmonies - Angel in Disguise
Runs - Slower
Emotion - Nothing

n
Sweet Nothings or Freedom
Without You... it's kinda boring but it's a great vocal.
Beggin & Pleadin really shows her range and power.
WYTM, Slower, True, Hear Me also come to mind. They all show different qualities of Brandy's voice.
The definition, Shattered heart
The Human title track is kinda underrated
