Afrodisiac is the fourth studio album by American recording artist Brandy Norwood, released by Atlantic Records on June 28, 2004. Recorded after a short-living hiatus during when the singer gave birth to her daughter Sy'rai and also ended her relationship with the album's initial producer Robert "Big Bert" Smith, it marked a departure from her previous work with Rodney Jerkins and his Darkchild camp, who gained no credit on the record due to a disagreement on Norwood's decision to work with Timbaland and his protégé, Walter Millsap III, on the majority of the production of the album.
The album debuted at number three on the U.S. Billboard 200 but had a short run on the charts, resulting into mediocre domestic sales of 416,000 copies and a gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Outside the States, Afrodisiac scored minor success, missing the top thirty on the majority of the charts it appeared on. The critical response to Afrodisiac was generally positive, garnering Brandy her strongest reception yet, with Allmusic comparing it to "Janet Jackson at her best." The following year, it received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Contemporary R&B Album but lost to Usher's Confessions album.
Eleftheria "Elle" Eleftheriou (Greek: Ελευθερία Ελευθερίου; born 12 May 1989) is a Greek-Cypriot singer who came to prominence in Greece and Cyprus through her participation in the second season of Greece's version of the singing competition The X Factor. Her early elimination from the show was considered a shock to many. Shortly after her elimination, Sony Music Greece signed Eleftheria and submitted her as a candidate to represent Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010. She was later disqualified from the national final, following the leak of her song onto the web by an unknown party.
Eleftheria had previously participated in the Cypriot national final for the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 with the song "Play That Melody To Me" featuring Maria Zorli, finishing seventh in the final. She is currently signed to Universal Music Greece, and is in the process of searching for new material. Eleftheria represented Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012, with the song "Aphrodisiac", where she placed 17th.
Fela Anikulapo Kuti (15 October 1938 — 2 August 1997), or simply Fela ([feˈlæ]), was a Nigerian multi-instrumentalist musician and composer, pioneer of Afrobeat music, human rights activist, and political maverick.
Fela was born Olufela Olusegun Oludotun Ransome-Kuti in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria into a middle-class family. His mother, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti was a feminist activist in the anti-colonial movement and his father, Reverend Israel Oludotun Ransome-Kuti, a Protestant minister and school principal, was the first president of the Nigerian Union of Teachers. His brothers, Beko Ransome-Kuti and Olikoye Ransome-Kuti, both medical doctors, are well known in Nigeria. Fela was a first cousin to the Nigerian writer and Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka, the first African to win a Nobel Prize for Literature.
Fela was sent to London in 1958 to study medicine but decided to study music instead at the Trinity College of Music. While there, he formed the band Koola Lobitos, playing a fusion of jazz and highlife. In 1960, Fela married his first wife, Remilekun (Remi) Taylor, with whom he would have three children (Femi, Yeni, and Sola). In 1963, Fela moved back to Nigeria, re-formed Koola Lobitos and trained as a radio producer for the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation. He played for some time with Victor Olaiya and his All Stars.

Whatever you want, I got it, Papi
Don't hesitate, holla at me!
What I'm lookin' for
Is simple, you see
Love and support and sexuality
When I'm with you, I don't wanna leave
I need you just like air that I breathe
But when I'm not with you, I'm missing my peace
I got a lot inside I need to release
You fulfill my every desire
When I'm with you, you take me higher (Wooo woo whoo)
You're my afrodisiac
You're the only one I'm needin'
When I go, I'll come back
'Cause there is no way I'm leavin'
You're my afrodisiac
You're the only one I'm needin'
When I go, I'll come back
'Cause there is no way I'm leavin'
There is no way you are gettin' away
I need your love every day
Medicine can't cure the way that I feel
What I need is my inner fill
Being without you, its makin me ill
Stressin me out i need to chill
Something this strong, gotta be real
Nothing or noone, show my skills
You fulfill my every desire
When I'm with you, you take me higher (Wooo woo whoo)
I admit that I'm a prisoner of your sex appeal(sex appeal)

Breathin's gettin stronger need you now, close to me
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I don't need to dine by candlelight
Wine or Barry White to set the mood off right
All I need is you tonight
You're an afternoon delight
You whet my appetite so let me have a bite
The sex is outta sight
You know just how I like it
And didn't have to be told
We go to bed but we don't get much sleep though
Eyes can't keep closed, my own private peep show
She knows how to stroke more than my ego
You're a torpedo heading straight for my libido
Hitting below the belt, what a deep blow she dealt
We both just melt in the heat of passion
I see it happen over and over in my head it's like a
re-enactment
Of my wildest dreams
It's like a scene from a movie screen
Erotic beauty queen
It don't take much to get me in the mood
All you have to do is walk in the room
You're a natural afrodisiac
Damn I never felt like that before
I just left and now I'm at your door back for more
I'm not asking for a lot just all you've got
First time I saw you my jaw just dropped cause you're
so hot
Close your door; make sure it's locked
Cause your way's unorthodox
When your neighbours called the cops they all just
watched
And I ain't wanna stop
Nothing can keep me back cause she's a natural
afrodisiac our lovemaking's breathtaking
I'm left shaking in front of the bed pacing
Just waiting for the next occasion
I'm usually very patient but now my belly's aching
Butterflies in my stomach, I'm lovesick, you're my
medication
No love potion's this potent
You got me open; I'm hotter than molten lava
That's how ya got my juices flowing
An explosion of emotion, the dam's broken
No holding back I'm ready to blow my stack
You're a natural afrodisiac
You're like a book, X-rated
I look through your pages
Almost fainted when I saw you naked
I'm like a boy and you're my favorite toy to play with
A joy you make it to call you lover
Cause you work wonders under the blanket
So let's get physical
I wanna get your whole body under the mistletoe and
kiss it slow
Starting with your toes
Then work my way up your curves til I struck a nerve
I feel like such a perv
That's what you do to me
But don't stop you do it beautifully
I don't know if it's love or lust
But oh what a rush
Just your touch does so much
Even brushing up against me accidentally
Sends me into a frenzy no matter how gently
That's why I never took viagra
Cause all I have to do is look atcha
