Brandy released her self-titled debut album at just 15, and ever since has remained a constant presence in pop music, adapting her soulful sound to stay current but never sacrificing her penchant for intricate, stacked vocals or her knack for candid lyrics about love and loss. And though the 2020 album B7 is her first in eight years, you can't have a triumphant return when you never really left.

In a music landscape where singers either have a powerhouse voice, a gift for lyrics, or a complex understanding of arrangements, Brandy has consistently shown that she possesses all three. From early hits like "I Wanna Be Down" and "The Boy is Mine" to later career gems like "Talk About Our Love" and the recently released "Borderline," she's grown from a youthful charmer to an icon, weathering R&B's transition from neo-soul in the '90s to EDM in the '00s to hip-hop in the '10s without compromising her identity. She's a master of the tender love song ("Sittin' Up in My Room," "Always on My Mind"), but also skilled at navigating heartbreak, too ("Almost Doesn't Count," "Brokenhearted").

She's excelled as a collaborator with everyone from Quincy Jones to Diana Ross to Ty Dolla $ign, but Brandy has endured for more than 25 years in large part because of her solo discography, which is filled with iconic hits and impactful deep cuts.

Though her career has been marred by label drama, Brandy is entering her fourth decade as an R&B radio fixture, an accomplishment few can match. Ahead of her hotly anticipated Verzuz battle with friend and collaborator Monica on August 31, here are the 20 best Brandy songs to listen to.

I just knew this pandemic would sorta change the game low key. People are less distracted now and it's easy for them to be interested in Brandy because of her journey and hardships. I haven't seen her get this much attention since the 90s even though her record sales are low. She's bringing in new fans guys.

I can't believe they just posted her singles

This is such a lazy list
