Editorial Reviews

Badu and her large turban appeared out of nowhere in early 1997, on a murmuring, romantic album that trod the median between old-school soul and contemporary electronic R&B. Badu's songs, especially the hit "On & On" and the catchy "Certainly," recall Sade in their polished, subtle sexiness. Badu almost never raises her voice--save the occasional "ooh-wee!" exultation--but she skillfully uses repetition and chanting to empower her words. Later portraying a beautiful swamp queen, she was one of the only good things about the movie Blues Brothers 2000. --Steve Knopper

Customer Reviews:

Badu Brilliant.......2007-07-23

Waste of time reading this review - just get the album.

Discovered her about 100 years after everyone else ... on Dave Chappelle's Block PArty. Sings like an angel, is drop dead gorgeous as smart as Einstein.

Izm.......2007-03-29

This album is great, with songs like "ON and On" and "Next Lifetime" she adds so much to music. There are songs which appeal to the free spirit in every person.

Erykah Badu.......2007-01-21

This CD is an awesome experience. She has such soul and her lyrics move you.

I prefer Mama's Gun waay more.......2007-01-20

I bought this album without ever hearing it. I had high hopes for it but for some reason I did not like it. I really did like the beats in the music, but I did not like Baduh's singing. Although everyone who has this album bought it for Baduh, I would buy it just for some of the cool beats. But Mama's Gun is a different story. I would recommend anyone Mama's Gun. It's a whole lot better than Baduizm for me.

CLASSIC.......2006-05-14

Its so hard to write a review almost 10 years after the fact. And 10 years later there has been nothing like this cd. Erykah hasn't even topped her self.
Sometimes you can only do it once and i guess that's what all it took cause this album is still undisputed.
No need to list favorties...we all them from the radio and videos but for your whole album to be mind-blowing is CRAZY.
Anyone who doesn't have this album by now, smack your self and go get it.

Album Description

Erykah Badu hit the national scene 10 years ago with a smash album out of the box, keyed by her unforgettable debut single and video, On And On. Her unique look and jazzy/hip-hop sound lit up urban culture, and Baduizm sold more than five million copies. This Special Edition adds rare promo-only remixes and live material, plus her Curtis Mayfield-written track from the film Eve's Bayou. India.Arie debuted in '01 with a fresh musical approach, incorporating soul, folk and blues. Her Acoustic Soul, led by the single Video, debuted in the top 10. It quickly sold two million albums, and the following year was nominated for the most GRAMMY® Awards by any artist. This Special Edition adds rare cuts from U.K.-only 12-inch vinyl and CD single releases, plus an extra track previously available only on a promo disc.
