Today’s Record
I Wanna Be Down 1994

"I wanna be down with what you're going through."

Album art

Brandy was fifteen when she recorded — her second single, a song about telling a man she's interested and waiting to see if he feels the same. I wanna be down with what you're going through. The vocal is so controlled you'd never guess she was still in high school. Number one on the R&B chart.

A teenager from Mississippi, singing about adult desire with the poise of someone who'd been preparing her whole life.
