, September 25, 2000Reviewer: QxyxQ - See all QxyxQ's reviews1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this Baduizm review helpful this is a great mix of jazz singing with soul and hip hop backing. very smooth and sultry with terrific vocal arrangement to give it a steady beat but with very intricate jazz feeling. it has a soul/hip-hop mix backing it, but subdued and as smooth as the vocals, so it really comes out being a great example of contemporary jazz. anyone who likes jazz vocalists and likes more modern applications of that style will love this cd.

Pro Reviews: Baduizm
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Two years after D'Angelo brought the organic sound and emotional passion of RB to the hiphop world with 1995's Brown Sugar, Erykah Badu's debut performed a similar feat. While D'Angelo looked back to the peak of smooth '70s soul, though, Badu sang with a grit and bluesiness reminiscent of her heroes, Nina Simone and Billie Holiday. "On On" and "Appletree," the first two songs on Baduizm, illustrated her talent at singing soul with the qualities of jazz. With a nimble, melodic voice owing little to RB from the past 30 years, she phrased at odds with the beat and often took chances with her notes. Like many in the contemporary rap world, though, she also had considerable talents at taking on different personas; "Otherside of the Game" is a poetic lament from a soontobe single mother who just can't forget the father of her child. Erykah Badu's revolution in sound heavier hiphop beats over organic, conscientious soul music was responsible for her breakout, but many of the songs on Baduizm don't hold up to increased examination. For every intriguing track like "Next Lifetime," there's at least one rote RB jam like "4 Leaf Clover." Jazz fans certainly weren't confusing her with Cassandra Wilson Badu had a bewitching voice, and she treasured her notes like the best jazz vocalists, but she often made the same choices, the hallmark of a singer rooted in soul, not jazz. Though many fans would dislike (and probably misinterpret) the comparison, she's closer to Diana Ross playing Billie Holiday as she did in the 1972 film Lady Sings the Blues than Holiday herself. - John Bush, All Music Guide |
