Erykah Badu's name was immediately established with her debut album Baduizm. Despite her relatively young age, she is 25, she makes a very mature impression. Intriguing are her lazy, lithe voice, which can be compared to Billie Holiday's, and her charming yet pleasantly arrogant personality. She also has guts; her second CD immediately became a live record. In addition to songs from Baduizm such as
… On & On, Apple Tree and Next Lifetime, Baduizm Live contains five new songs, including Ye Yo, Stay and the hit Tyrone. During the recording of this predominantly calm, jazzy soul album, Erykah Badu was pregnant with her now-born son Seven. Baduizm Live is dedicated to him. (WvdZ)more
