A quickie:

By no means can I claim to be an expert on Erykah Badu. I’d always known about her and her music, but I never really gave her a listen til this album came out.

That said, she’s incredibly soulful and mellow, perfect for chilling, thinking deep thoughts, reflecting, that kind of thing. Her voice is earthy and rich, like purple velvet for the ears.

“Window Seat” is the highlight of this record and her first single, the one whose video prompted a huge controversy. (I posted it a few days ago, definitely watch it.)

It’s not everybody’s cup of tea, but I think most music aficionados will appreciate Badu’s talent.
