Synopsis
Trevor plays an hour of soulful music and his Album Of The Week is Never Say Never by Brandy.
Shortly after the release of her eponymous debut in 1995, Brandy became a star. In 1998, there was much more riding on the second record than the debut and, fortunately, she followed through with Never Say Never, delivering an album that rivals her first. Brandy finds a middle ground between Mariah Carey and Mary J. Blige - it's adult contemporary with a slight streetwise edge.
TREVOR NELSON'S ALBUM OF THE WEEK: BRANDY - NEVER SAY NEVER
Selling more than 14 million albums worldwide, singer and actress Brandy Norwood’s second album established her as a late 90s superstar. Following up 1994’s eponymous debut, Never Say Never was a collection of smooth, mid-paced jams, which very much provide a snapshot of commercial RnB from the era.
