I still remember the first time I heard "I Thought". I was gagged. 

The Full Moon album is what made me start stanning. 

[Harlem]

I was amazed. I love Brandy's NSN voice now because it's so unique, but back then I thought it sounded "strained" even though I loved all the songs.. The full moon tone was so open and free. There was so much agility, more highs, more lows, more precision. I still have not heard growth on this level between albums from anyone else.  Most people have not grown that much in skill and creativity over their entire careers.

This 👏🏾

!!!!!!

This is why Brandy is my favorite singer! No one else showed growth and evolution vocally like she did... we literally watched her go from a teen voice to a grown ass woman super layered voice

Never say never was my musical awakening 

Full Moon blew my mind. It gave me everything and more of what I didn't think I needed. 

afrodisiac took a few listens but after that I was done for. Nothing has topped this trinity ever' 

wow the memories

In my opinion, I feel like she's the only artist voice who has matured and changed. Like a lot of the girls don't show vocal growth lol

I was 9 years old and I remember feeling something was different with her, Like her verses sounded like a new Brandy but her hooks still had her teen sound, by Afro I was in love with her new voice

Tbh I was puzzled, I genuinely didn't know what to think. It was so new compared to the other music I was hearing, even from her.

However, once my ears adjusted (happend with every project beside Human) it was jaw dropping. I was still hearing new things 2 years into listening. FM is when I saw Brandy as an artist and not just a teen pop singer.

What about us was definitely a change from the Disney Princess/Moesha I was used to (the beat, the attitude, the video). The Full Moon album was a lot more futuristic and production felt more hiphop to me. I was so used to the old sound - Have you ever, Almost doesn't count, Truthfully that I really needed songs like Wow, He is, Love wouldn't count me out, Nothing. And later on I started stanning for the more experimental songs like All in me and I thought but it took a while.

I think maybe if I had listened to an album like TLC- fanmail I would have been more prepared. I had the same experience with Whitney Houston. I was hooked on this ballad compilation cd and My Love is Your Love wasn't what I expected, but now I really love it. 

I loved Afrodisiac from start to finish from the day I got the cd. Who I am was a perfect introduction by the way.

I remember going downtown to the cd 💿 shop and buying it and listening to it in my cd Walkman on the walk home. Full Moon was so mind blowing in its new sound that I had to repeat it 2 or 3 times before listening to the rest of the album.

I LOVE THIS DISCUSSION. NO ONE IN MUSIC HAS THE VOCAL GROWTH BRANDY HAS.
ALSO, I WISH SHE STILL WORKED WITH RODNEY. I THINK THE SYSTEM THEY HAD WORKED 
SO WELL FOR SHOWING HER GROWTH AND SHE TOOK MORE RISK.

Period.

I didn't know it was Brandy the first time i heard. " what about is?" On the radio, i must've heard that song 5 times before i figured it out lol.

[Amazing]

I thought her voice was computer simulated or something because it sounded too perfect. I couldn't comprehend how a human was making these sounds.

The vocal growth was evident and she was showing more range and agility.

[Amazing]

The music was so ahead of its time. I felt like I was sent to 2050. 

[demitri.petty]

Thank you guys for keeping it honest... I bet that must of been a time to be around to witness the growth
