Is Brandy's New Album The Real "Afrodisiac" Or Just a Placebo?

by speeddemon531 speeddemon531 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Music, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jun 30 '04
Pros: The Coldplay references, Brandy's sense of melody, the vocal arrangements.
Cons: Timbaland's production, too generic sounding, lack of personality.
A little over a decade ago, Brandy was THE fresh-scrubbed R&B/pop teen idol. In contrast to the wise-beyond-her-years sass of Monica and the icy cool sensuality of Aaliyah, Brandy was the fresh-scrubbed innocent of the bunch. She sang sugary-sweet love ...

Brandy's Afrodisiac: Slightly Stimulating But Not Altogether Arousing

by cletta1201 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jun 24 '04
Pros: Brandy's vocals. A few stellar tracks.
Cons: Too many effects.
Brandy Norwood has grown up in front of America. From the cute and bubbly R&B singer to the growing teen on television, to a grown woman starting a family and trying to evolve her career into a more mature area. And on this her fourth album, titled ...

Brandy and Timbaland hook up on Afrodisiac!

by Monnie1976 Monnie1976 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Music, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Sep 30 '04
Pros: Brandy has a one of a kind voice and knows how to use it.
Cons: Sometimes the producers don't.
Brandy is a singer I have always had a hard time reviewing. There are times when I love her laidback, raspy style and there are other times I feel she is boring and repetitive. Never Say Never was a very impressive album with Brandy picking some ...

Afrodisiac? Am I supposed to be turned on?

by tigger500 , Jul 25 '04
Pros: --
Cons: --
It took me a while to truly decide how I felt about Brandy’s new jawn, Afrodisiac. A coworker of mine (who is also a big fan) asked me if it was good and I immediately said, “It’s good but its not as good as Full Moon.” ...

Brandy's Afrodisiac is a Little Potent, But You're Best Off Sticking With Oysters

by floatingcity , Sep 19 '07
Pros: TImbaland's impressive production skills, especially on the title track and "I Tried".
Cons: Overlong and bloated. Tendency towards musical repetition that detracts from the other qualities.
While recent legal and personal disputes have placed R&B songstress Brandy under the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, she remains one of the mainstream industry’s more interesting and sonically identifiable performers. Going from her sweetheart ...

Afrodisiac: Does It Arouse The Feeling To Turn It Up or To Turn It Off?

by whisperscream Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 02 '04
Pros: Brandy’s best vocals; good lyrics; excellent production; more mature material
Cons: Brandy wrote squat; no Rodney Jerkins; no chemistry; some weak lyrics
Webster defines an “afrodisiac” (aphrodisiac) as something that arouses or increases sexual desire or potency. I’m not quite sure if Brandy’s new album does that but it’s definitely an enjoyable, or to a lesser extent, tolerable ...

Was It Necessary For Timbaland To Be The Main Producer?

by nlawr54761 , Jul 27 '04
Pros: there are some
Cons: there are some
For the past 10 years, we've watch Brandy grow from a bubbly, sweet teenager to an intelligent, beautiful woman. Just the past 2 years, Brandy has been through a lot from being a mother to divorcing her husband. Also, she replaced Rodney Jerkins with ...

The Diary of Brandy Norwood Pt 4

by sj1and0 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 27 '08
Pros: The beats are hot.
Cons: None!
When I saw Brandy Norwood climb up into the role of Moesha on the show of the same name, I became very interested in her musically and as an actress. She was singing songs like "I Want To Be Down" and I could interpret every song on her debut ...

Certain types of shellfish? Green M&Ms? Spanish Fly? Nah... Here's the REAL deal.

by archer347 , Aug 01 '04
Pros: This would've been Brandy's most personal album yet...
Cons: ...if she would've written some more of the damn lyrics.
From her television debut (as far as I know, anyway) on Thea to now, I can honestly say that I've been a big fan of Brandy's the whole way. Granted, I've never bought a single album of hers, but I've admired her, her music and her acting ...

Brandy's AFRODISIAC is one of the best releases of the year.

by musicluva , Jun 28 '04
Pros: Simply amazing. Continuous great music straight through- no fillers.
Cons: No complaints!
Okay, it would be cliche` to say that Brandy gets better with age but what other cheesy catchphrase could perfectly describe her continuous artistic development as the aforementioned? AFRODISIAC is everything you would expect from Brandy (and more) and ...

A thoroughly enjoyable glimpse into Brandy

by b-luva , Jul 12 '04
Pros: Genuine, heartfelt and skilled vocals; good beats, too.
Cons: Too much layering; less vocal clarity; and what is TI doing on here?
Afrodisiac is a touching glimpse into the soul of a woman who has experienced and overcome a great deal of turmoil; a lifelike blending of sadness and happiness, softness and edginess. There was still some of the busyness that detracted from ...

Please Come Give A Dose To Me

by sandie7 , Jun 12 '05
Pros: great sounds, tell a story
Cons: some weak songs
Brandy has always been an artist I greatly respected. I have liked her since her days on TV show Moesha and her singing days from 'The Boy Is Mine'. I really loved her albums from her last 'Full Moon' and this one is even better. This is Brandy's fifth ...

Timbo & Brandy: Finally!!!

by lyrikalbj , Jun 10 '05
Pros: Wide range of tempo, great harmonies and production
Cons: Still not Timbaland's best effort in the production realm
Brandy has been in the music business ever since she was a teenager. She broke into the music scene around the same time that Aaliyah and Monica did back in the 90’s. As she progressed in her career, she has had a number of successful CDs. Probably ...

Im Still A Little Limp.

by guy922 , Dec 25 '04
Pros: A few good dance tracks, "Should I Go" is a great closer.
Cons: Overexposed rappers and overproduced music.
Im sure we all remember the young, producer's puppet by the name of Brandy Norwood. She had a little success in the 90's with her boring self-titled debut album and her sophomore follow-up, 1997's "Never Say Never". The she had an eating disorder and ...

Brandy finds herself.

by cjdaniels78 , Jun 26 '04
Pros: She's a consistent artist. The music speaks for itself.
Cons: The yelling of the announcer on Turn It Up.
"It used to be a few artists at a time, now even the veterans waited in line..." speaks, Brandy on her latest disc Afrodisiac. Afrodisiac finds a much more mature Brandy vowing to find her place within the music industry. Since parting ways with former ...
