Review

Rolling Stone (p.116) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Brandy lets her cool voice stream through jams that, as one hot track is titled, 'Focus'."
Rolling Stone (p.141) - Included in Rolling Stone's Top 50 Records Of 2004 - "[N]ot only her best but also the year's outstanding R&B disc."
Entertainment Weekly (pp.85-6) - "AFRODISIAC, Brandy's meatiest album to date, also sports a few superior dance numbers..." - Grade: A-
Vibe (pp.139-40) - 3 1/2 out of 5 - "[M]ature-layered music....Timbaland crafts a befitting backdrop for Ms. Norwood to reintroduce herself as a full-grown woman....It's here crazy, sexy, cool revival that's the true bliss of this fourth coming."

Title Note

Personnel include: Brandy (vocals); Kanye West, T.I. (vocals); Baby Dubb (various instruments, programming); Glenn S. Jeffrey (guitar); Ervin A. Pope (keyboards); Thaddeus Tribbett (bass guitar).

Recording information: 2004.

Personal turmoil has always proved to be a creative elixir for musicians, so it's not surprising that Brandy Norwood would dip into that well for inspiration on her fourth album, AFRODISIAC. In addition to her transformation from a teenage pop/TV star to an international music sensation, the 25-year-old vocalist followed motherhood with a divorce and also stepped away from longtime production partner Rodney Jerkins. In the process, Brandy cast herself in a much sexier and more mature light, which is reflected throughout these 15 songs.

Brandy's wisest moves were enlisting hip-hop guru Timbaland behind the boards and bringing Kanye West along for the ride as well. The Timbaland-produced songs, particularly the snappy title cut (with its intricately layered vocal tracks) and the slow-rolling funk of "Focus," gurgle with the Virginia-based maestro's trademark staccato beats and rich production style. Chicago native West is equally impressive, dueting with Brandy amid sweet, Gamble & Huff-flavored string arrangements in the autobiographical "Talk about Our Love." With its engaging and expressive tracks, AFRODISIAC proves to be another victory for the old adage about great art emerging from emotional pain.
