#ThrowbackThursday: Brandy – #FullMoon (2002)

“Really miss you, baby, and ways you’ve touched me, and I can’t hardly wait, ‘Til you touch me’’, This week’s Throwback Thursday jam is Brandy’s 2002 album, “Full Moon?” Full Moon is the third studio album by American singer Brandy. It was released by Atlantic Records on March 5, 2002, in the United States. The album was recorded primarily during the summer and fall of 2001 at the Hit Factory Criteria in Miami, amid a three-year musical hiatus following the success of her multi-platinum previous studio album Never Say Never (1998).

More than a decade after the release of Full Moon, and 20 years after first wowing the public, Brandy is remembered as one of the brightest R&B stars during the ’90s.
Our favorite song from the album, has to be When You Touch Me!

“All I can do is sit and think about the way you used to love me, the way you used to hold me, and the way you used to touch me,” Brandy whispers on “When You Touch Me,” a standout track on the collection. Powered by drum kicks, hollow snares, guitars, and keys, the Darkchild and Big Bert co-produced slow jam is perfect for Brandy’s intense yearning and serves as a complimentary soundbed. Brandy’s impressive vocals shine bright on this ballad.
