ReviewsRanked #9 in Rolling Stone's Top 10 Albums of 2000 - "...She takes chances the way Stevie Wonder or Nina Simone did in their prime....she has taken her art to the next level...", Included in Cmj's "Best of the Year" for 2000., 5 Out of 5-"...The Freshest, Most Inspirational Set of New Grooves on the Planet...", 3 stars out of 5 - "...Warm jazz textures, slinky beats, smoking grooves and hip hop lite. Badu's silky tones are as seductive as ever...", "...A sultry concoction of mild jazz and soft '70s marked by an all-around reverence for 'retro'....demonstrating her true artistry.", "...A '70s soul homage featuring live musicians and a smooth-funk sound that wouldn't be out of place on a CTI record....Badu has a nuanced voice that pokes through the bland surfaces..." - Rating: B-
Additional InformationNeo-soul diva Erykah Badu's second studio release finds her incorporating pronounced jazz influences into her historically minded mixture of hip-hop and soul.
