Despite its initial commercial underperformance, "Afrodisiac" has had a lasting influence on the R&B and pop landscape. The album's innovative production and Brandy's boundary-pushing vocals have cited as inspirations by artists such as Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Kehlani.
In recent years, "Afrodisiac" has been reevaluated as a classic of the 2000s, and its influence can be heard in contemporary R&B and pop.
Produced by Timbaland, with additional production from The Neptunes, Cutfather & Budabeatz, and others, "Afrodisiac" features a unique blend of futuristic production and old-school R&B sensibilities. The album's sonic landscape is characterized by Timbaland's signature use of unusual time signatures, polyrhythms, and atmospheric synths.
