"Talk to Me" is a song by American recording artists Brandy, Ray J and Willie Norwood. It was written by Scott "Shavoni" Parker and Tommy Niblack, while production was overseen by the former. Based on the American reality series Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business which aired on the VH1 network between the years of 2010 and 2011, it was released by Saguaro Road Records as the first single from the A Family Business soundtrack which accompanied the series' second season.[1]

Critical reception[edit]

"Talk to Me" garnered generally negative reviews from music critics. Jon O'Brien from AllMusic found the ballad schmaltzy and wrote that it is the "type of gloopy sub-Disney ballad you'd have expected to hear on Brandy's late-'90s Cinderella remake."[2] Chuck Campbell from the Scripps Howard News Service, writing for The Telegraph Encore, declared "Talk to Me" a "generic slow song that degenerates into a wail-off among the three singers."[3]
