History
Brandy Norwood was born in Mississippi in 1979 and raised in California, and for years she was a television star and a recording artist at once, carrying the sitcom Moesha while her albums sold. Never Say Never (1998) produced "The Boy Is Mine", the duet with Monica that won a Grammy. What other singers actually study, though, are the two records after that. Full Moon (2002), made largely with Rodney Jerkins, set her voice against crisp, brittle digital drum programming. Afrodisiac (2004), built mostly with Timbaland, stripped the beats back further. On both, she stacks harmony parts many layers deep, so the lead line arrives inside a choir of itself. That habit is why people in R&B call her the vocal bible. You hear the approach any time a modern record answers a lead vocal with a wall of the same voice.
