1994–1997

Brandy with MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, and Yo-Yo in the remix video to "I Wanna Be Down" (1994).

After months of recording, including sessions with producers Daryl Williams, and Keith Crouch, Brandy's self-titled debut album was released on September 27, 1994. While the album debuted at a moderate number 20 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart only, Brandy soon became a quadruple platinum success thanks to heavy rotation on music channels MTV and BET and the singles "I Wanna Be Down" and "Baby" which both entered the top 10 of the official Hot 100 and became number-one hits on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop chart. Although the album's success was limited elsewhere, it produced another two top 10 hits and made Brandy one of the most successful new artists of the year.

1998–2001

Brandy and Monica in the video for "The Boy Is Mine" (1998), one of both acts' biggest singles.

Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins consulted on the album Never Say Never, which was released on June 9, 1998 and became Brandy's most successful album worldwide. Norwood co-wrote and produced six songs on the album which yielded her first number-one song on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, "The Boy Is Mine", a duet with singer Monica. The song rose to one of the most successful records of the year, staying on top of the Billboard Hot 100 for thirteen weeks, and eventually garnered the pair a Grammy Award for "Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal". Critics rated Never Say Never highly, with All Music Guide's Stephen Thomas Erlewine praising Brandy and her team for wisely finding "a middle ground between Mariah Carey and Mary J. Blige — it's adult contemporary with a slight streetwise edge".^[8] Altogether the album spawned seven airplay and CD singles respectively, including Norwood's second number-one song, Diane Warren written "Have You Ever". ^[9] Image File history File linksMetadata The_Boy_Is_Mine_(screenshot). ...

For the next three years, Brandy completed the remaining three seasons of her sitcom Moesha and starred in a number of widely successful and critically acclaimed television specials and movies. She also landed a multitude of endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics, which she represented for several years. Brandy was the subject of a major advertisement campaign for DKNY Jeans for three seasons, and modeled Candies shoes in an ad campaign photographed by David LaChapelle.

After a lengthy hiatus that saw the end of her Moesha television series, and a flurry of tabloid headlines discussing her bout with "dehydration", Brandy returned with a 2001 remake of Phil Collins' 1980s hit "Another Day in Paradise", a collaboration with brother Ray J.

2002–2003

"What About Us?" (2002) presented a more mature facet of Brandy's personality and her much-worked-on voice.

During the production of her third studio album, Norwood became romantically involved with producer Robert "Big Bert" Smith. The couple quietly "married" in the summer of 2001 but their union did not become known until February 2002 – the same month Norwood revealed that she was expecting her first child. However, shortly after the birth of their daughter Sy'rai Iman Smith on June 16, 2002 – an event tracked by the four-part MTV reality series Special Delivery – Norwood "divorced" Smith. The "marriage" itself was later exposed as not of legal status but instead was used as a ruse to protect Brandy's image. ^[10] Norwood later stated that she regarded her relationship with Smith as a "spiritual union and true commitment to each other".^[11] Image File history File links Brandy_wau1. ...

Full Moon, Norwood's third studio album, was released in March 2002. It once again comprised a row of R&B/Pop-oriented songs with adult contemporary, many of them co-created with Jerkins, Warryn Campbell and Mike City. While its lead single "What About Us?" became a worldwide top 10 hit, the album's title track failed to chart or sell noticeably outside the United States and the UK, where it managed to enter the Top 20 of the single chart. Media reception was generally lukewarm, with Rolling Stone Magazine saying that, "... this interminable (seventeen-track) product is frantic, faceless, fake-sexy R&B."^[12] For other uses, see Full Moon. ... 2002 : January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December A timeline of events in the news for March, 2002. ...

Still, the album was rather quietly and cautiously declared as a flop by the media. Brandy ignored the rumblings and instead settled further into motherhood.

2004–2006

"Talk About Our Love" (2004), produced by rapper Kanye West, failed to link Afrodisiac with previous successes.

By the following year, Norwood had entered a relationship with New York Knicks guard Quentin Richardson. The couple soon got engaged in July 2004 but Brandy eventually ended her 15-month engagement with the NBA player in October 2005.^[13] As reported, Norwood had to get a tattoo of Richardson's face on her back transformed into a cat.^[13] Image File history File links Screenshot_talkaboutourlove2. ...

Returning from yet another musical hiatus, Brandy's fourth album Afrodisiac was released on June 29, 2004 in North America, amidst both her weakest promotional blitz ever and the well-publicized termination of her short-lived business relationship with entertainment manager Benny Medina.^[14] Norwood ended her contract with his Los Angeles-based Handprint Entertainment after less than a year of representation following controversies surrounding Medina's handling of the lead single "Talk About Our Love",^[14] and failed talks of a purported co-headlining tour with R&B singer Usher.^[14] Upon parting Norwood admitted her switch to Medina made her appreciate what she had with her mother, stating that "It was such a drastic change that it didn't work for me. Nobody out there can match her passion for me."^[14] Afrodisiac is the fourth album by American singer Brandy, released in the United States on June 29, 2004 (see 2004 in music) on Atlantic Records. ... is the 180th day of the year (181st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Despite the negative blitz, Timbaland-produced Afrodisiac became Brandy's most critically acclaimed album to date,^[15] with some citing the "more consistently mature and challenging" effect of Timbaland on Brandy's music,^[16] and others calling it "very listenable and emotionally resonant", comparing it to "Janet Jackson at her best".^[17] Norwood described the CD as her most mature and versatile effort by then: "I just wanted to sing my heart out and connect with people. I wasn’t old enough or mature enough before to get into people’s hearts. Now I am."^[18] Nevertheless Afrodisiac became the least successful album of Brandy's career: While it debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, selling 500,000 copies domestically, the album widely failed to chart or sell noticeably outside the United States.^[19] "Talk About Our Love" reached number 6 in the UK but follow-up singles failed to obtain success on the pop charts.

At the end of 2004, however, Norwood asked for and received a release from Atlantic Records, after eleven years with the company. As a direct consequence the label brought a collection of all of her singles, The Best of Brandy, on the market. "I think it's awesome to have an album that reflects the songs that people have enjoyed over the years," Brandy said in an interview the following year, "I'm happy to say that many of the tracks included are my favorites too."^[20] Thereupon she reportedly started shopping for a new record deal under Knockout Entertainment, her brother's label.^[21] The Best of Brandy is a 2005 greatest hits album by American R&B singer Brandy, issued by Atlantic Records after the singers departure form the label in late 2004. ...

In June 2006, Norwood was cast as one of three talent judges on the first season of America's Got Talent, an amateur talent contest on NBC with executive producer Simon Cowell and host Regis Philbin. The broadcast was one of the most-watched programs of the summer,^[22] and concluded on August 17, 2006 with the win of 11-year-old singer Bianca Ryan.

In late 2006, TMZ broke the story that Brandy was involved in a wreck on a Los Angeles freeway on December 30. The accident claimed the life of 38-year-old Awatef Aboudihaj. An eyewitness tells TMZ Brandy was traveling at around 65 miles per hour but did not stop when traffic in front of her slowed.
