Rating: - good one
when this first came out i bought it just because it was erykah badu. i listened to it once and put it back on the shelf. then one day i really listened to the whole thing and loved it ever since. another great one by erykah, some people don't like it because of the different sound, but give it a chance and you'll grow to like it.

Starts off grand with Badu's sleek neo-soul vibe at it's best, continuing to truly earn her pay as a vocalist unlike most singers. When she starts to indulge her hip-hop side in the second half things really take a turn for the worse though, and we go from wonderful, breathy experimental grooves to corny Timbaland-esque bangers that just feel out of place for her class. Thankfully this was just a little midterm sampler to kind of gauge things artistically for her and I am sure she figured out what stuck after that.

Three years later came this so-called EP--which proves to be both a disclaimer and misnomer for this fifty-minute collection of ten songs ... Read More
