Publisher's summary

Brandy has influenced the last quarter century of pop music and helped define the R&B legacy of the ‘90s and ‘00s with seven rich, innovative albums. She’s an esteemed vocalist who along the way had to manage the pressures of teenage fame, young superstardom, and self-doubt.

These are her Words + Music.

In Brandy’s A New Moon she holds nothing back as she traces the personal experiences, triumphs, and traumas that shaped her as a global, generational superstar. Written and conceived by Brandy with Gerrick Kennedy, Brandy’s Words + Music entry is an intimate and bracingly raw mediation on power and purpose from one of the most influential singers of all time.

About the Creator and Performer

Multi-platinum, Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, producer and actress Brandy Norwood is one of the most influential artists in pop history. Born into a musical family, the Mississippi-bred daughter of Willie and Sonja Norwood emerged as a teenage sensation in the ‘90s with her 3x-platinum self-titled debut album, a hit sitcom Moesha and as the star of Disney’s television adaptation of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella alongside her idol Whitney Houston and a multi-cultural cast of icons that attracted over 60 million viewers. She has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide and is ranked as one of the best-selling female artists in American music history by the RIAA, having sold more than 11 million albums in the United States. Her idiosyncratic voice and the innovative sounds she brought to music—particularly her 5x-platinum selling album Never Say Never (1998), Full Moon (2002), and Afrodisiac (2004)—has been a guiding inspiration for generations of artists across myriad genres.
Brandy has earned scores of awards, including a Grammy, an American Music Award, three NAACP Image Awards, three Billboard Awards, an MTV Movie Award, three Soul Train Awards, five Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards, two Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, six BMI Awards, a Teen Choice Award and in 2018 she received the Cathy Hughes Award of Excellence at the Urban One Honors. While maintaining a recording career, Brandy continued to be a presence in television (The Game, Zoe Ever After, Star) and film (I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, Double Platinum, Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor) and in 2015 made her Broadway debut in Chicago, one of the longest-running American musicals of all time. Brandy’s first studio album in eight years, b7, was released in 2020 to critical and fan acclaim and debuted at No. 1 on the Independent charts and her Verzuz celebration with collaborator Monica was one of the webcast’s most watched with a remarkable 5 billion impressions. Last fall, Brandy made a return to television with a starring role on ABC’s hip-hop musical drama Queens and is currently at work on her eighth album.

Heartfelt and emotional

Amazing words read by Brandy herself interspersed with her best music. She discusses her creative processes, the ups and downs of the industry and shares the background on some of the songs she wrote.

Wow!

What a beautiful way to share the story of an icon! Brandy has the most beautiful voice and her soul is even more stunning! These vocals are unbelievable!! Truly enjoyed this experience as a fan of Brandy of course, but also as a fan of people realizing their true purpose. Would love for these versions of the songs to be available on streaking apps!!
