Trevor plays an hour of soulful music. His Album of the Week is Never Say Never by Brandy.

Trevor plays an hour of soulful music. His Album of the Week is Never Say Never by Brandy, which was released in 1995.

Trevor plays an hour of soulful music and his Album Of The Week is Never Say Never by Brandy.
 
Shortly after the release of her eponymous debut in 1995, Brandy became a star. In 1998, there was much more riding on the second record than the debut and, fortunately, she followed through with Never Say Never, delivering an album that rivals her first. Brandy finds a middle ground between Mariah Carey and Mary J. Blige - it's adult contemporary with a slight streetwise edge.

Series contrasting original genuine soul with contemporary hip-hop and neo-R&B, including an album spotlight on R&B-inspired singer Brandy's 1998 big hit sophomore release Never Say Never, which struck the middle ground between the slick adult contemporary sound of Mariah Carey and the streetwise edginess of Mary J Blige. The album yielded the US number ones Have You Ever? and The Boy Is Mine - a duet with Monica which spent 13 weeks on top of Billboard's Hot 100 and, as with the album's Top of the World, reached number two in the UK.
