2022 reisseu on deep purple vinyl - When this Nubian goddess first burst forth six years ago the music press, for once, were unanimous. Here was a major new artist who would help redefine modern R&B; it was a big billing to live up to.
A succession of hit singles, a brace of acclaimed albums and a number of credible, and highly successful, guest appearances have lead us to where we are now - the arrival of Texan gal Erica Wright's third opus.
Living up to the acclaim of her five million selling debut Baduism was never going to be an easy task. Four Grammy Awards only added to the expectations. We shouldn't have worried, in Worldwide Underground she has achieved a far more rounded and accessible set then her sophomore collection, Mama's Gun.
Badu describes her latest album as the "struggle on a good day", a somewhat harsh self-assessment. This is the Badu that we've grown to love and trust; pure 100% uncut, uncompromising R&B that touches on folk, jazz, blues and hip-hop. No one does eclectic in quite the same style.
