Artist: Brandy Album: The Best Of BrandyAlbum Highlights : “Have You Ever” and “Full Moon”

If you’re looking for a CD to take you away from the jams of today and back to the ’90s, then “The Best of Brandy” is for you.

Brandy has compiled a decade of R&B soul music for the public to soak up and enjoy. She takes you all the way back to 1994 with her very first hit, “Baby.” The music still remains hip and sexy, even if it is a decade old.

Included on the album is “I Wanna Be Down,” and the huge 1998 hit “The Boy is Mine,” the duet with Monica. It brings back the old feelings so many of us had in middle school, and, for some, high school.

Her album is filled with wonderful oldies from the ’90s and recent compilations. The ’99 hit “Have You Ever?” is that classic love song about loving someone who doesn’t love you back. The most recent hits are the 2002 song “What About Us?” a song bent on destroying the male ego for treating his woman badly. The song “Full Moon” is also a part of the greatest hits album. It is a great song about really liking a guy and thinking he’s so fine.

The album gives us fantastic music we had over the course of ten years. Another great song on the album is “Another Day in Paradise.” This song reminds us of who we are and the crappy world we live in that we call paradise. She also included tracks from her third album “Afrodisiac” such as “Who Is She 2 U,” and many more hits.

The overall feel of the album is pure fun. It gives you all those sweet, delicious feelings of being young and those more mature feelings experienced as adults. It is the essence of R&B. This latest addition to the Brandy collection is an album no one should pass up. She brings all the flavor of the old and the new in her greatest hits. Here, you will see the growth of Brandy from a teenager into a woman.

With all the classic songs from her past and today, Brandy gives it her all with “The Best of” and comes out better than before. It is truly an album with a wonderful decade of songs in it.
