    Her deep, warm voice now has a scratchy, evocative edge that suggests maturity and the high price that often comes with it.

    Full Moon is perched perfectly between the interesting and the mundane and is in equal parts either.
  3. Uncut

    After a sequence of fierce, squelching avant-R&B, Jerkins makes his excuses and leaves Brandy with some old hacks and their dispiriting, saccharine ballads. [May 2002, p.89]

    Not being a big fan of Brandy's, I was quite reluctant to pick this one up. I am SO glad I did. Her life is maturing beautifully, and it shows on this disc. Underrated is definitely the word of choice to describe it. "Wow" and "Come a Little Closer"glow sublimely, "All in Me" is pure sexiness with its groaning bassline, and her ballads such as "He Is","Nothing", and especially "Love Wouldn't Count Me Out" are breathtaking. Music rarely forces me to tears, but "Love Wouldn't..." does everytime I listen to it. I sincerely hope she continues on her path to true happiness.… Expand

    One of the very best R'n'B albums to date, Brandy is the best vocalist/entertainer of the naughties. No album fillers, you can tell Brandy and her team put real genuine effort into each track.… Expand
