Track DescriptionAvailable in:
"Afrodisiac" is a song by American recording artist Brandy Norwood. It was written by Isaac Phillips, Kenisha Pratt, Kenneth Pratt and Timbaland for her same-titled fourth studio album (2004), while production was handled by the latter. One of the first songs Norwood and Timbaland collaborated on, the record is an uptempo–offbeat contemporary R&B song with pop and dance-pop elements, built along on a flute, Afro-Caribbean music influences and 1980s electro sounds. Considered by Norwood as one of her favorites on the album, the track expresses a female's addictive passion for a special person, whom she declares her very own aphrodisiac.
The song was met with generally positive reviews from contemporary critics. Many praised Norwood's versatility and considered it as one of the stand-out tracks on Afrodisiac for having an innovative and different production when compared to the others. Released as the album's second single in Europe and Oceania during the third quarter of 2004, "Afrodisiac" reached number eleven on the UK Singles Chart, its highest peak, as well as the top thirty in France and Ireland, and the top forty in Australia and Switzerland, where it surpassed the success of its predecessor "Talk About Our Love".
The single's music video was directed by Matthew Rolston, who also directed Norwood's clip for "Best Friend". It was filmed in Los Angeles, California and features Norwood dancing in a water-flooded outtrack world mainly influenced by white, gold and black color. "Afrodisiac" was performed on several television shows, concerts and tours, such as CD:UK, Top of the Pops and the 2009 Human World Tour.
