Erykah Badu
Comment:
It was 1994 when a gig opening for soul singer D'Angelo led Erykah Badu to the fateful recording of the great Marvin Gaye-Tammi Terrell duet "Your Precious Love." Her subsequent 1997 solo debut followed hot on its heels — packed with neo-soul nuggets like the too-good teaser "Next Lifetime" and the jazz-flavored lucky charm "4 Leaf Clover," it revealed a singer-songwriter with an ocean-deep talent for blurring the boundaries between genres and time spans, and for crafting tunes of intense individuality. That album may have spawned a legion of imitators, but the artist herself has stayed true to her own brand of Baduizms. Our [i]Erykah Badu[/i] Essentials distills the best of the artist's potent neo stylings, from the acoustic intimacy of "A.D. 2000" to the mind-blowing super-funk of "Honey."
