Brandy

Brandy's first album Brandy was chosen because emotions grasp the younger audience. The song titles featured on the album are reflections of what occur in the real world. In comparison to other artists, on Brandy's first album she is very inspirational. Although this album was very successful in her early years, she was more mature in her later albums. Brandy writes songs that are very encouraging displaying, emotions from deep within.
Take for example the opening song from Brandy's Brandy. Her album begins with a song entitled "Moving On," reaching out to young an old who have their head on straight and know what they want out of life. She says repeatedly keep moving on if one is not prospering. If one is feeling down and needs a little boost of inspirations, one should turn on this and let it play through. She is unlike other artists who consistently speak about heartbreaks and turmoil. Brandy in this case would say, if someone were not treating you right "Move On." The lyrics are very touching. It talks about how she knows she has a purpose and she will not miss her blessing by forgetting who has brought her that far.
Brandy does not sing about the failure, bitterness, and mixed emotions that other artists do in sad love songs. She is not saying heartache does not exist, she is just well rounded person who can talk about everything, even the small things people look over. Traditional love songs consist of pains and misfortunes. In her early years she was focused on her future and what she could do to make the world better. In "Moving On" she says she is a leader, not a follower. This is showing she is strong willed. Young people can really relate because she was a positive role model for our generation.
The third track on this song album is entitled "Best Friend." This song is unique because who do you know that will dedicate an entire song to a sibling? If you have not heard the interview or read the CD cover, you probably thought she was talking about a friend. Usually when someone dedicates a song, they are dedicating it to a deceased or significant other. Brandy, on the other hand, expressed her love for her brother in a special way. Unlike some singers who can only think about them selves and their own personal benefits, she is an awesome person.
There is one song on the album that focuses on someone who is depressed; it is called "Brokenhearted." although the lyrics are about someone who has gotten their heart broken, it still can be viewed as an inspirational song. If one listens to the song thoroughly, one can hear her say how someone still can move on, in reference to the opening song on this album. This is a powerful song because it says despite someone's heartache and pain, one still can move on. While one is young, you have the opportunity and the rest of your life ahead, so let no one hinder you from your dreams and aspirations. In the near future listen to all advice. You do not have to agree, but simply listen.
The fifth track on this album one can see how she is appreciative because she reflects back to where she came from. Normally when people become famous, they forget about who helped them to be who they are today. She gives thanks to her family for being supportive of her. She also gives thanks to those who have inspired her.
Most importantly, she did not stop there with her musical career; she went on to her acting legacy. Interestingly enough, Brandy went into the entertainment field as a young aspiring actress. Not only was her music career and instant success, but she also was the star on two popular sitcoms. With all of this success, Brandy opened many doors for young female artists such as Monica and Brittany Spears. She is still admired by many. Through her music Brandy shows gratitude and appreciation to those who helped her launch her career such as her family. Brandy is motivational album that helps ease life struggle and reflect on positive thing people should value.
