NEVER SAY NEVER Brandy
', (out of five stars)
Four years ago, Brandy entered into the
music scene with her self-titled album. The
album brought much success, selling more than
four million copies and generating three hit singles,
"I Wanna Be Down," "Baby" and
"Brokenhearted."
Now, the 19-year-old has picked up where
she has left off with her new album, Never Say
Never.
This album is just as good as the first one
and will leave the listeners wanting more.
The dance songs revive the vibe featured in
the first album.
Songs like "U / ? : : m
Don't Know Me [ ^k
(Like U Used To)" : 1 k M
and "Top Of The ^k
World" (featuring ^k
Mase) really show
the
harmonies in
These harmonies
The slow songs
also make Never say Never apow- /
erful album. "One Voice" is a pow- f
erful song about unity. "Have You *
Ever?" is a song about when love
can be stronger than pride.
Brandy also does an impressive
remake of the Bryan Adam's song
"(Everything I Do) I Do It For You."
Never Say Never is a great
album. This album proves Brandy \
can grow up and keep her musical
style. * "
This album will help her keep
many of her fans and gain new
ones. If she keeps going in the m
same direction, Brandy will be jUf m
around for a while. *f?3 M
