вЂњI looove that album songs i liked were вЂњI Wanna Be DownвЂќ and вЂњAlways on My MindвЂќвЂ¦ nice.вЂќ вЂњBrandyвЂ™s first album was one of my inspirations when writing Baduizm,вЂќ she shared on social media. Fellow icons like Erykah Badu and Jill Scot have sited BrandyвЂ™s first album as a blueprint of sorts for their respective debuts. From Solange to Britney Spears, everyone found a little bit of themselves in BrandyвЂ™s music and style. ItвЂ™s been said time and time again about the heavy number of vocalists Brandy has inspired. She Rushed Through The Recording Process of вЂњBrokenheartedвЂќ So She Can Get To An Amusement Park вЂњIt felt so good hearing it on the radio that first time at Taco Bell,вЂќ she recalled. Most of the time theyвЂ™re at home or in a car but for Brandy, things were a little different. She Heard вЂњI Wanna Be DownвЂќ For The First Time At A Taco BellД®very artist remembers the first time they hear their song on the radio. She also made it clear to shout her out at the 1995 Soul Train Awards after one of her comments about the singer was misinterpreted. It was a great moment IвЂ™ll never forget.вЂќ She said the same thing about me and we connected.

When I met her I embraced her, I was so happy to meet her. At the time, record companies did not believe in kid acts and it was just inspiring to see someone that was winning and being themselves. вЂњShe came out before Monica and I did, she was our inspiration. Meanwhile, an unexpected woman shows up at Rays door and offers him something hes never had before. I was so excited to meet her because she was the first girl on the scene,вЂќ Brandy said of their friendship in 2011 with Billboard. Brandy is ready to get back into the dating world and with the help of her best friend Shay, prepares for a blind date. With AaliyahвЂ™s chill demeanor and sweet vocals, it was sadly second nature for critics to pit another young black teen like Brandy against her but both ladies never gave in to the critics. Critics Constantly Compared Her Debut To AaliyahвЂ™s Brandy went on to live on the charts for a whopping 89 weeks. 98 with arguably her best album Never Say Never entering at No. Her self-titled album debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at No. BrandyвЂ™s chart takeover was all thanks to her singles вЂњI Wanna Be Down,вЂќ вЂњBaby,вЂќ вЂњBrokenheartedвЂќ and вЂњBest Friend.вЂќ The tracks enjoyed spots across the Billboard Hot 100 chart (with many of them in the Top 10).
