RAW A CAPPELLA: Brandy Norwood

Brandy EFFORTLESSLY delivers raw vocals unlike no other singer of this generation. Her unmatched tone coupled with her immaculate control, fluidity, soul and diversity makes her stand out among the rest. If you didn't know, NOW you do!

[@weakassfadestan1681]

If anybody ever wanted to start their Brandy Awakening. They should start with this video.

[@CandyGirlllll]

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 They definitely sleep on her. I’ve had this debate with ppl for years. I tried to tell them brandy was a beast. They didn’t believe me. I love this lady... That voice is real raw and pure. Ain’t to many out here left from the 90s that we have left....

[@brandoncrome]

I don't think people understand the complexity of her voice... To try to explain what she does is a challenge in itself

Most singers tend to lose their voices with age but I think Brandy has gained strength and sustainability. It’s impressive. I prefer Brandy live over her recorded stuff. She gives more live.

[@stevie586]

Properly, a female voice should have its full power in the younger 40’s, but, so many folks damage their voices nowadays it doesn’t seem to last that long. She’s just taken great care of her voice. It amazes me how well Kandi has maintained her voice, as well…she doesn’t drink or smoke, though, which is clearly why.

[@InfinitleYours]

[@JeffSpencer-vb6ot]

I was thinking the same thing, she's actually gotten stronger with age, which is Miraculous

Damn, i had no idea Brandy could sing that good! In 42 and listened to her when I was a teenager. Beautiful voice, I'm shocked!

[@TheKre8tiv1]

Brandy, Kim Burrell, Jazmine Sullivan, Keke Wyatt, The Clark Sisters, Lalah Hathaway, Tori Kelly, and JoJo are the Queens of riffs and runs! 👑

Always liked Brandy but didn't know she could sang like this. Beautiful voice and the raspiness is everything

[@weakassfadestan1681]

That’s the thing ppl who know who brandy is and just knows the singles/Moesha always have a brandy awakening and just start studying her whole discovery. You will start to understand her craft. My awakening was in 2008

[@shamoneecemills9856]

Really brother? If u know BRANDY and have always liked her, mannnnnn u should know shes the "VOCAL BIBLE" and has always been good at this!

[@weakassfadestan1681]

Shamoneece Mills you not getting what I’m saying. For the people who just know who brandy is not necessarily a stan but just watched moesha here and there and listened to which ever brandy song is on the radio that day. It only takes one live performance or non single that they randomly stumbled upon to be like damn let me go study her whole discovery and see what she me giving. Also I was 4 when Brandy came out and had other things on my mind

[@michaeljohnson5255]

[@Drinkthedamncocoa]

@@weakassfadestan1681but this is it. Her single hits don’t do her full range enough justice so you have to deep dive to know the full extent of her vocal skills

[@shariceornah]

😧😧 I was always wondering what everyone was talking about when people said Brandy is a vocal powerhouse. The only brandy I was exposed to was the Cinderella movie and That Boy Is Mine. I never knew she could do all this and she is jaw dropping.

[@storyofdanjul]

The greatest voice PERIOD! We don’t deserve her! People don’t even celebrate real talent nomore 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@TyTurner1996]

I wanna do voice runs so well, so badly. I feel like it's an ultimately unique technique when it comes to singing. Hell, if I could get vocal lessons from THIS WOMAN RIGHT HERE, I'd ask in a heartbeat. This woman is phenomenal.

[@arslanferatovic135]

Me as well !!!! there are some useful videos with vocal exercises (e.g.by Paul Mckay) here on youtube, perhaps that helps you a bit... But you are absolutely right-she is A plus MAZING (as my Mariah would say :shy:)!!!

[@willfeen]

i heard it’s best to start slow, making sure you get every note accurately, then gradually speed up over days and weeks :) it’s tough to do it this way because you won’t be impressing yourself at first. Patience

[@meganmyers7826]

Her tone and her runs, that's the shit I was raised to sing, when you feel it, through the body,soul, and spirit.

[@phillipbrown9842]

That tone! That technique! Whew! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@bloodofjhezos]

I hope this video taught people that she is NOT a contralto!!! She just likes to sing in a lower range during the beginning of her songs. Her range is vast and dynamic. Also, can't believe she wakes up and can just sing like that!! Imagine 😭😭

[@rydercdaniels4475]

She’s a lyric mezzo

[@joshuamcdowell5782]

Brandy has range. Ppl don't realize unless you are a true fan.

[@thatsoulkidbtj]

@@rydercdaniels4475 A Lyric Mezzo's tessitura sits a bit lower than Brandy's. Jazmine Sullivan is a Lyric Mezzo. Brandy's a straight up Lyric Soprano.

[@rydercdaniels4475]

thatsoulchild No she isn’t, Brandy’s tesitura is no where close to that of a Soprano. She’s mezzo. Even Beyoncé who has comfort and ease within the soprano range is still a lyric mezzo and Brandy’s comfort zone and tesitura sits lower than hers. She’s a mezzo

Brandy's voice is ahead of it's time, She's like Picasso, she's a Genius. People will eventually catch up. When people are Brilliant and ahead of their time unless you yourself can be keen enough to see it, most want and only in retrospect
