"In 2002 Brandy returned with her hit "What About Us?" produced by Rodney Jerkins. It was totally new sound for Brandy, and even Jerkins himself, but they pulled it off. It was techno bass-booming production that Brandy could call her own sound. This time around, Brandy leaves the techno-R&B behind and goes back to her roots: R&B. But a falling out with Jerkins led to his absence on her upcoming album, "Afrodisiac." Thus producers Kanye West, Mike City, and more importantly, Timbaland step in."Talk About Our Love" is the first single from her new disc and it is produced by and features, the ubiquitous Kanye West. He gives a pretty dull rhyme to the song, but it is Brandy who really takes the cake. Her voice is deep and raspy and sounds just as good as the production itself. Kanye West is a genius and this is one of the better productions he's done lately. The lyrics, the music, and the vocals all come together. In the song Brandy and Kanye strike back at people who persistently poke into their love life. It is a topic many celebrities can relate to."What is it this time/Go on and speak your mind/I know somebody's lyin/ Her auntie told your cousin/ Now all your homie jump in/ And now the whole hood's buzzin/ With he said, she said/ Baby don't let get in your head..." Brandy sings on the beginning part of the first verse. She is confident and strikinig on the part.This song may be climbing the charts slower than previous Brandy songs, but it is by far her most superior first-single."

WOW WOW

"This track is bangin yeah. From day i heard it i was like "yeah, this is a tune." I like the chemistry between Kanye and Brandy. It just goes to show that Brandy can't stop won't stop. But can someone please answer this question. What was the point in Ray-J being in the video for like two seconds, was he THAT desperate for some publicity? Only God knows.....but forgetting that im gonna get this single as soon as it's released and u should too."
