She changed the sound of music and vocal production along with Rodney and inspired a generation of not just singers but entertainers also. People reference her as a crossover act, someone who could do it all. Sing, act, dance. People without the ear don’t understand but she is in a class all of her own and so many others wouldn’t exist without her. She is truly THE VOCAL BIBLE!

Thank you for this breakdown. Brandy voice has always been hard for me to explain to anyone. Her tone and the way she intentionally hits notes can confuse the ear lol. People don’t realize how high or low she’s singing because of that. I find her voice unique and VERY distinct. I love smooth, silky, and raspy voices. Her voice can unleash that power when a song needs it most. She’s so fun to study vocally.

Brandy is just very pleasing to listen too. It's about her knowing her strengths while understanding her limitations. That's why she gave unforced and comfortable vocals with the emphasis on storytelling with feeling. Her tone matching well with her low singing style. I think in the 80s Sade along with Anita were very influencial on how being understated can be commercially successful. Toni and Brandy were bourne out of them in the 90s era working with the on trend hit makers ensuring their successes. I would add one song that is ground breaking and influencal which was Chante Moore "Love's Take Over". A pivotal song that is considered a masterpiece that influenced her early work but made for a younger market.

I have to re-listen to her whole catalog and hear it as if she’s talking to ME. I love that ❤

I learned so much 👏🏾. Didn't realize her voice can't go high or lower not able to sing loud live. I love Brandy she deserves to have her career back being on top

I don’t think is that she can’t it more so that she not comfortable with doing so. If she could do it consistently or liked that sound in her music she would.

Please do episodes comparing and contrasting tenor/falsetto goats Ron Isley, Phillip Bailey, and El Debarge. While each are great, they have different nuances and techniques in their voices. Thanks and I enjoy your channel my intelligent brother.
