Enjoying the Smooth Sounds of Ms. Badu

While I was listening to one of my friends song playlists, I came across an old school Erykah Badu song "On&On", and I swear it took me back to 97' riding in my moms old school hyundai on the way to school bumping Baduizm. I remembered first hearing that single and thinking that it was so different from the other types of music that was popular during that time (rap, pop, r&b). Each song from that album told a story of her personal philosophies about life . And to this day, I still love that album the best. It's just so smooth and laid back, that each song just coasts into another. It is definitely what I like to call "chill music".

I adore Erykah Badu! I really wish she would come out with another album similar to her first one. Not a fan of her latest New Amerykah. Thanks for reviewing her.

I saw erykah in concert recently and was completely floored by her stage presence and beautiful ,unique voice. She commands respect and your attention at all times and I can't wait to hear her next CD. She sang an upcoming song off of it and all I can say is WOW!! NOt to mention the years have been very good to Ms. Badu, looking good maam.

Totally feel you man- this album came out my last year in college- which was one of the most fun and off the chain years of my life- still:) I love the way it takes you back- what do you think about people comparing her with India Arie ?

ater03 May 04, 2009

I can see why they compare india to erykah based on them both being in the same music genre. Being so, their styles are totally different.

I totally agree- you know check out my review on Nneka-the new NeoSoul Queen - I have the feeling that you are going to love her!!!! Let me know:)

Sure does...thanks for starting the reviews on her! I couldn't agree with you more- Apple Tree, Sometimes, Rim Shot...Tyrone...all of it! How could you ever get sick of listening to her?
