It appears as the seventh track on the album on which it its interluded by a telephone conversation between two lovers. The lyrics of the piano\u2013led power ballad describe the protagonist's emotional state towards an ongoing long-distance relationship, which leaves her in depression.\n\nThe song was the second and final single to precede the Human album.

The song initially impacted on US radios on April 1, 2002 as the album's second single. Described by Norwood as \"ghetto\", the track is a R&B song that makes use of pop and hip-hop influences and a simple, piano\u2013led production. Lyrically, the song follows Norwood as she experiences a love at first sight in a nightclub, whose circumstances she attributes to a full moon night.\n\nThe song was well received by music critics, with many complimenting Norwood's aurally remarkable evolvement and growth as well as the bass\u2013heavy production, calling it a standout track from the album.

The scene switches into a \"futuristic wind tunnel\", where she wields a bat against cell phones, two-way pagers, and a flying man, whose sunglasses she grabs off.

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\u2013offbeat 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.\nThe 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\".\nThe 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."},{"idArtist":"112308","strMusicBrainzArtistID":"01e60eba-52df-4694-8f09-39f43abe54e9","idAlbum":"2127340","idTrack":"32938612","strTrack":"Who Is She 2 U","strTrackThumb":null,"strMusicVid":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9c_5iVzazQ","strDescription":"\"Who Is She 2 U\" is a song by American recording artist Brandy Norwood from her fourth studio album, Afrodisiac (2004).

It was written by Kanye West, who also appears as a featured artist on it, and Harold Lilly, while production was handled by the former. Due to the song's use of a sample of Mandrill's 1978 song \"Gilly Hines,\" penned by band members Claude Cave II, and Carlos, Louis and Ricardo Wilson, they are also credited as writers. Recorded late into the production of the album, the track was an eleventh hour addition to the album's track listing alongside \"Where You Wanna Be.\"\nIt was eventually selected as the album's lead single in a last-minute decision and thus replaced the Timbaland-crafted single \"Black Pepper,\" resulting in his dissociation of the Afrodisiac project. Released to generally positive reviews by critics during the second quarter of 2004, \"Talk About Our Love\" became a moderate chart success around the globe. While it peaked at number six on the UK Singles Chart, the song reached the top thirty in Australia, Ireland, and the Netherlands, but barely made it to the top forty on the US Billboard Hot 100.\nThe accompanying music video for \"Talk About Our Love\" was directed by Dave Meyers, based on a concept by West. It portrays Norwood and the rapper as a couple who is frequently disturbed by nosy friends and neighbours, who keep on popping in and out of their house to find out about their affairs. At the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards, Norwood garnered a nomination in the Best R&B Video category for her work in the clip though she eventually lost to Alicia Keys' \"If I Ain't Got You\". Additionally, the song received a Best Collaboration nod at the 2004 MOBO Awards."}]}
