Ms Badu; the High Priestess of neo-soul.......2007-03-29

I've been a fan of Ms Badu since day one and I'd always wanted to get this CD. I just never seemed to get around to it. But then I saw her perform "Back In The Day (Puff)" on stage on Dave Chappelle's Block Party (Unrated Widescreen Edition) and I knew the time had come.

It's a brilliant set with Erykah doing what she does best, presiding over the neo-soul and hip-hop beats like some kind of musical & spiritual high priestess. The first couple of tunes (including the wonderful "Intro - World Keeps Turnin'"); "Bump It", "Back In The Day (Puff)", "I Want You", "Woo", "The Grind" and "Danger" are simply flawless, in my opinion.

Things get rather ropey towards the end though, and her version of "Think Twice" is not even half as good as the Donald Byrd original. I've always believed that if you're going to do a cover, you need to bring something new (if not better) to the party or there's really no point bothering. And "Love Of My Life Worldwide" with Angie Stone and Queen Latifah is just awful.

Still, she ends on a positive note. "Outro - World Keeps Turnin'" is just a reprise of the intro but it's so good it's worth hearing twice. Besides, it does sound like the latter part of the album was recorded live in front of an audience - but I could be wrong - in which case, aforementioned ropiness is well and truly forgiven.

Cool CD, all in all. I like it. I read somewhere that this is supposed to be an EP and not a full album. It sounds like a full album to me and a pretty decent one at that.

She's due a new one anytime soon, surely?

Erykah Badu.......2006-11-10

As usual, Erykah Badu hasn't disappointed us. This is another young talented black women with a message for her listeners. Can't wait to hear her next cd.

PURE SOULFUL ENERGY.......2006-10-13

Erykah Badu's music always has soul and such energy and this, her latest album, does not disappoint. I've heard her several times live in Dallas and she is fantastic in person, she brings an edge to her soulful songs when she's live. Being of the caucasion persuasion, which is to say im tan with a white primer, I dont always agree with Ms. Badu's, uh let's say Afro Centric views, but I respect her opinions and I love her talent. Highly recommended.

Erykah Badu... My Therapist!.......2006-04-05

what can I say... Brilliant! Erykah Badu is one of the badest ladies out! I dont care what anyone says.. Erykah is always on point. Many did not expect this LP to be any different from her last but if you are an Erykah fan you will notice that she tries to do something different each time. Most fans were expecting her to continue singing all that heartbreak and girl be strong stuff but come on... everybody gets over that phase in life and there comes a time when you have to let all that go and move on. And that is exactly what she did. She brought back all of our good times with "back in the day"! She gave us courage to speak up (ladies) with "I want you" She gave a warning to you ladies who love them dope bois so much in "danger". She put her demo down with this LP. Now I cant wait until Freakquency comes out. I am so looking forward to her next project... In the meantime... if you like Erykah Badu check out Zap Mama.... Shes another bad one to look out for.. Until next time Peace!!!!!
