“The Boy is Mine” the R&B duet by Brandy and Monica

1 Mins read

1998 marks the remarkable success of the song included in the albums Never Say Never (Brandy) and The Boy is Mine (Monica)

Written by Brandy herself and produced by Darkchild, Brandy, and Dallas Austin, the song still sounds beautiful today and moves listeners, with the typical suggestion of the story it contains, namely the rap-style feud between two beautiful women over a man. The track, which sold 10 million copies worldwide, earned the singers their first Grammy Award as well as nominations for the most prestigious music awards and a double platinum certification. Deeply inspired by The Girls is Mine, from the year 1982 by Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, it begins with awkwardness, given the artistic dispute between the two protagonists who arrive separately at the recording studio. The result? Beyond any reasonable precision, given the dramatic tension that this sort of cold confrontation generates, with the grand finale featuring the main actor, Mekhi Phifer, indifferent to the frustrating situation of the two girls that will unfold elsewhere. Until it reaches the top positions of almost all Billboard charts. With the boy to win over. At all costs.
