Amazon.com: 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
very good debut this is another great album to listen to when you want to chill out or clean the house to. even though she doesn't have the strongest voice, her lyrics and sound bring something new to music.
The fusion of Hip Hop, R&B and Jazz - The NEW Billie Holiday Amazing sound, Very creative and with a good team of musicians - The best CD of Eryka.... It worth each penny spent! Buy it!

Badu Brilliant 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 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.
