R&B CLASSICS: Brandy - Full Moon

After giving you a few weeks (we've departed from the weekly schedule, as it became too much for some) to digest D'Angelos throwback-ish neo-soul classic Voodoo, we're now moving on to 2002's Full Moon, Brandy's futuristic sounding masterpiece produced by Rodney 'Darkchild' Jerkins. Brandy has released more than one classic in more than one era, but this is forever my favourite and, you guessed it, one of the best R&B albums ever made.

By the way, this Friday Brandy will release a new album, so get on that.

Previously, we have discussed Mary J. Blige's What's The 411?, Usher's Confessions and D'Angelos Voodoo.

@Henry to change the pinned thread.

 

I bought this album around 2004 and have basically never stopped listening to at least some of it. It's Not Worth It, which blew my mind back then and still kinda doe, is my favourite song on it, followed by WOW.

 

For those looking for more, I recommend the 90s R&B classic Never Say Never (1998) and the Timbaland (and Kanye) produced Afrodisiac (2004).

 

Listened to this once or twice during random r&b phases I’ve been in over the years, blew me away each time. Excited to really sit down with it now.

 

looking forward to checking this out

when this came out i was probably mostly familiar with her from moesha reruns

 

This album was definitely the end of Moesha era Brandy. Not that that was a bad era, she made classics then too.

 

Come on people If this was an album from the same year made by some dreadfully mediocre white person this thread would be fucking flooded.

 

Brandy youre a fine girl, what a good wife you would beeeee

 

I skimmed though it, but it's not for me. Got too much of a 00's RnB feel to it and I still can't get on with a lot of rap and RnB from that era.

 

this is a great record, prob her best. i miss darkchild r&b

her new album is FUCKING GREAT

 

the new brandy album might be the best album i've heard in this seriously stacked year

 

One of the best by Brandy.

I thought, Full Moon, When you touch me, All in Me, Can we?, What about us?, Nothing, Anybody, It's not worth it, and Wow are the standout tracks.
