Brandy

Brandy Norwood was only 15 when her debut was released in 1994, but Brandy shows an artist wise beyond her years and ready to spread her wings. The singer's feather-light voice dips in and out of productions that blend hip-hop beats, shimmying soul, and pop sensibilities. Radio-ready gems like the teasing “I Wanna Be Down” and the wounded “Brokenhearted” balance Brandy’s light vocal touch with undeniable presence; her whispered determination on “I’m Yours” helps transform it into a love song for all ages.
