.4everBrandy is celebrating 20 years of FullMoon, a 'vocal bible' that set the gold standard for R&B vocalists today. 💯

When R&B singer/songwriter Melanie Fiona first entered the music industry in 2001, years before she was a Grammy-winning artist, the Toronto native was fresh out of high school. At the time, she was beginning to consider what singing would entail as an actual profession – beyond throwing on a Whitney Houston record at home and pushing her voice to its limit while singing along.

For Brandy, the key to moving forward wasn’t to start from scratch, but to build on the foundation she had established with Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins when the superstar producer helmed the majority of. They had fallen into such a synchronized rhythm as a collaborative pair, heading into, that making music together was almost too easy for them. They knew what would work, but sought a challenge in pushing the boundaries of the record to their limit.

“I purposefully told the engineer who was recording for us on that song to make it sound like it’s coming from a very small place – something, again, I learned from Michael – so that way, when it comes on, it comes on impact,” Jerkins explains of the transition. “If you’re the listener, it’s almost like watching a movie and you hear those big effects that happen in films.

She had gravitated towards “Full Moon” with an urgency similar to what was expressed in the phone call snippet, knocking out the hook on the spot and hounding Mike City daily for the completed track. “I was just trying to make sure every line was just what I wanted to say, then translate through her what she wanted to say,” he says, remembering the hunger the singer had when returning to the music scene.
