    The former "Moesha" star has never made a bad album, and she's not starting now with the appropriately rich and varied Human.

    Human is a thoughtful, intimate work on which Norwood sings movingly about fragility and fear.

    The huskiness that defined Brandy's prior work has been replaced by wispier and higher tones. The result is pleasant but far less ambitious than her last CD, 2004's "Afrodisiac."

    Human is nothing if not a serious album, not to mention the least enjoyable release in Brandy's catalog. But it could very well be her most useful one.

Standout tracks include Warm It Up, Long Distance, Right Here, Human & First And Love. The best R&B release of 2008!… Full Review »
