BADUIZM marks the debut of a true songstress, with a voice like Billie Holiday`s and a style that crosses many boundaries. Erykah Badu has exceptional rhythm, character and vibe, and a songwriting style that should restore some life to modern R&B. From her groundbreaking single "On & On" to freestyle skits like "Afro", Badu separates herself from other `90 vocalists with a style that is as broad as it is original. It`s also real: On "Next Lifetime" and "Certainly," Badu demonstrates a remarkable ability to turn life`s experiences into beautiful songs.
