Erykah Badu - Baduizm

Sealed, Latest Run Of The 2016 2LP Gatefold Vinyl Reissue.

A Seminal R&B Record And Forerunner In The Neo-Soul Movement. "Two Years After D'angelo Brought The Organic Sound And Emotional Passion Of R&b To The Hip-Hop World With 1995's Brown Sugar, Erykah Badu's Debut Performed A Similar Feat. While D'Angelo Looked Back To The Peak Of Smooth '70s Soul, Though, Badu Sang With A Grit And Bluesiness Reminiscent Of Her Heroes, Nina Simone And Billie Holiday. "On & On" And "Appletree," The First Two Songs On Baduizm, Illustrated Her Talent At Singing Soul With The Qualities Of Jazz. With A Nimble, Melodic Voice Owing Little To R&B From The Past 30 Years, She Phrased At Odds With The Beat And Often Took Chances With Her Notes.
