Siik Gives Brandy His 'Best'


It was the summer of '95 and teen R&B queen Brandy Norwood was still riding high off the success of her singles "I Wanna Be Down" and "Baby" when she released her third single "Best Friend." It has stood the test of time as one of my favorite songs Brandy has ever done. Fast forward some 16 years later and here comes incredibly talented producer -- and SoulBounce fave -- Siik with a new take on the track that makes it even better. He has already expressed his love for Brandy, even remixing "Sitting Up in My Room" and "I Wanna Be Down" (and detailing his huge crush on her back in the day). That love is evident in his updated version of "Best Friend." Siik leads you in with finger snaps before he carefully layers Brandy's sweet vocals over a laid-back summertime groove and funky bass line. Basically, the track is smoother than Billy Dee sipping Colt 45 in a '75 El Dorado on a Sunday. I've been playing it on repeat since I've heard it and, once you download it, you will be, too.
