Amazon.co.uk Review
Brandy has a lot to prove. She's had five Grammy nominations; she's won one Billboard Music Award, one American Music Award, and several Image and Soul Train awards; and she's sold over 4 million records--all by the age of 19. Never Say Never enters the scene after four years of sophomore jitters and plain old fear. And it enters with a bang. Brandy's voice suggests serious vocal training from her father, and strong songs--some written by her now-19-year-old woman-child self--attempt to take R&B back to its proper plateau. The album's first single, "The Boy Is Mine", and the Mase duet "Top of the World" serve as proof that Brandy still has the chops, determination, and cuteness to take a record to the top. --Asondra R. Hunter

CD Description
Avoiding the dreaded sophomore slump, Brandy delivers a fresh-sounding, well- crafted second album that sounds as much like pop as it does R&B. NEVER SAY NEVER features a song, "Have You Ever?", that was written by mega-songstress Diane Warren and produced by super-producer David Foster. The lead single, "The Boy is Mine" is a duet with fellow R&B'er Monica. Keeping up with the trend of big-time collaborations, multi-platinum rapper Mase makes an appearance on "Top of the World", which seems custom made for jeep jockeys.
Although sprinkled with other contributors, most of the album was produced by Rodney Jerkins. With a focus that is sometimes loston a follow-up to a smashing debut, Brandy's composure and experience shine through in a product that is 16 songs deep.The album also contains a cover of "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)", produced by Foster.

Customer Reviews

Even playa-haters must congratulate
I bought this album when it first came out almost three years ago and it still sounds wicked. Stand out tunes are "Put That on Everything", "Learn The Hard Way" and "Never Say Never". The beats are way ahead of their time and Brandy's raspy voice fits every songs to a tee. Just avoid the Byran Adams remake - it was a nice try, but nothing could make that song sound good - not even the midas touch of Ms Norwood. A defintite RnB classic.

Gorgeous!
Smooth, sexy and funky. This album is one of the few I can sit down and listen to, start to finish. The best tracks for me are Learn The Hard Way, Tomorrow and Almost Doesn't Count. Thoughtful lyrics combines with R'n'B, Funk, Soul and pure talent make this an outstanding achievement for Brandy, and everyone can appreciate her in one way or another. Even now ttis album still sounds bang up to date, and her new single is just as good...the only person who can make even Phill Collins sound sexy? Now that's got to be worth listening to! Only four stars cos I want another Brandy album ASAP! Otherwise, a perfect 5 out of 5.

one of the greatest albums ever made
Brandys second album shows a much better style of vocals and production. this is my fave out of both her albums and the best tracks are 'the boy is mine' 'happy' and 'have you ever' with a great album like this brandy shouldn't wait as long to realease another one as she did with the last.
