20 Years of ‘Never Say Never’
Saturday, June 9, 2018, marked 20 years since Brandy released what would become her most successful album. Never Say Never was decidedly different from her self-titled debut album because — besides Brandy Norwood herself — there were no carryovers in the songwriting and production department. It would serve as a launchpad for Rodney “Darkchild” Jenkins, who gets a credit on 10 songs on the album and went on to become the writer/producer du jour for the remainder of the ’90s.
Never Say Never produced two No. 1 singles and sold over 16 million copies worldwide. If you asked me what my favorite cut on the album was at the time of its release, I would’ve probably said “U Don’t Know Me (Like U Used To),” but at this moment, I’m going to have to go with “Angel in Disguise.”
Even though it was a single, it never actually got a video, so enjoy the audio below.
