November 2003 Brandy released Turn It Up on Vinyl and online as a promotional single before the release of Afrodisiac.

I remember when it first leaked it had completely different vocals from the version that is available on the album.
Over the years I guess I have lost the original MP3 as I just went hunting and cannot find it.
The only place I still have this version is the "DJ Envy Remix" feat. Gravy.... that version has the same vocals from the original 2003 release.

The song hit #2 in Germany and was #22 on their year end chart
There is also a Turn It Up (Sticky Remix) that was released in Germany that I cannot find either
There is also a Denny Tsetto House Mix that I can't find.. He's a New York City DJ and it's supposed to be an incredible dance version
There's also a DJ Sios House Remix out there somewhere
And the version with rapper Vic Damone
I wish there had been a music video for this song. It got excellent reviews as one of the better songs on the album. Timbaland and Candice GG Nelson did their thing for this one...
It was a tribute to 90's music ... and it was also a Rodney Darkchild Jerkins diss track
I will always have a special place in my heart for this song and I really hope that the original 2003 version without DJ Envy and Gravy resurfaces too
:plzstop:
If anyone has any of the version I just mentioned.. .please share.
Turn it up was a strong track
It should have been a single
My fav after necessary, focus and I tried
I use to go back and forth about whether I like it or not. I grown to really love it, it's fun and would have been great single for Brandy to return with. Sometimes you just wanna play a jam with some bounce on a Friday/Saturday night.

I think the video could have been really fun with all the 90s references in the song
Should've been left off the album completely. This and Sadiddy. And replaced w/ Sirens and Nodding Off.
Thanks for posting. I wasn't aware of the alternate version of the track or its success in Germany
DJ Envy ain't shit for that album art though

Brandy would've been edgy af if her first single from Afro was Nodding Off
:stressed:
Nodding Off should've been lead single.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's kinda mind blowing a bit... I see why Sirens was left off the actual album b/c it was very Liy inspired but Nodding though and over Turn It Up?! They bugged out for that
Does anyone have the demo version if Finally?

I'm from Germany and this is not correct.
It charted on MTV Germany's "black charts" which is not linked to the official charts of pure single sales.
:omgwatshappening:
Love turn it up/sadiddy/noddin off. It's so hard to say what should have been the first single because this wasn't a single album IMO. I don't think she had a real radio hit on this particular album.

I prefer the 1st version. I would use the song even more if it wasnt for the unnecessary DJ shouts.
🤗🤗 thanks!!!!
