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-
Good product. Great tracks. Lush production. '70s soul jazz funk in the manner of those greats like Roy Ayers but with Erykah's voice. "Bah Lady" will solidify your crush on the beautiful and eccentric Erykah.
