The music industry pats itself on the back again tonight with the annual Grammy Awards. Julio Diaz offers a preview with his picks for who deserves to win and who will win.
... 's grandmas everywhere, "Ms. Jackson" was fresh, relevant, and insistent -- plus there's the music industry intrigue in that the song is written for Erykah Badu's mother (André 3000 and Badu were married, and she is the father of his son). To me, it's a no-brainer... Who will win: ...except for the fact ...

December 1999 :: Music Mi-O :: Meshell Ndegéocello (Julio Diaz)
... of mood. By turns soulful, jazzy, dark, and beautiful, Bitter is a moving work of art. Imagine, if you will, combining the deeply soulful sound of Erykah Badu with the intensely personal atmosphere of Tori Amos' best work, and you're on the right track to figuring out what makes this record so special ...

Love & War (Dreamworks). Review by Matt Cibula.
... personalities. You know: like all of us. At the same time, she's more interested in chart success than wonderfully quirky headcases like (the great) Erykah Badu and (the overrated) Lauryn Hill, so she makes sure that main collaborator Tyrice Jones and her other producers like Jerry Stokes and Blaze ...

Stranger On Earth (Atlantic). Review by Bill Campbell.
... R&B, suffering a popularity not seen since disco, has seemed to have lost its way in a beat-heavy, thin-voiced mire. Many artists, such as D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, and Jill Scott have chosen to reach back and out to funk and hip-hop to carve out a new direction. Lina's definitely in this new old school ...

For The Love... (MCA). Review by Matt Cibula.
... forefathers with some tight grooves that sound like today. But it just doesn't stand up to repeated listenings -- and if you've heard anything by Erykah Badu or D'Angelo or any of today's more radical stylists, For The Love... might not even get through one listen.

Anything (Palm Records). Review by Tim Wardyn.
... as Quixotic, Anything is as much electronic as it is soulful. “Ragga” is a club-worthy collaboration with Tricky where Topley-Bird sounds a lot like Erykah Badu moaning, “I’m doing things I wouldn’t normally do.” “Need One” proves that Topley-Bird can rock with the best, imploring guitars and vocals ...

Music From and Inspired by the Motion Picture (Hollywood). Review by Vanessa Bormann.
... enough to make me say "Ugh." If you can't help yourself and must have this rather hideous collection, the only two small, remotely decent songs are Erykah Badu's "Southern Girl" and the cheesy, soul-tinged "I Want To Be Your Man" by Zapp and Roger, which is perfect make-out music if your partner has ...

Operating in a genre dominated by paint-by-numbers R&B, Zaki Ibrahim paints soul -- outside the lines -- with a purple paint brush. S D Green talks to the emergent Canadian soulstress about globalism in her sound, the unlikely influence of Tom Waits, and why critics refuse to believe Canadian artists have soul.
... kalimbas and guitars. At the same time that her music is danceable soul with traces of Soul to Soul, Eclectica is Cocteau Twins ghostwriting Erykah Badu, with sounds dug up from Tom Waits's boneyard. "In early adolescence, the same time I'm listening to Whitney Houston and Anita Baker, I'm also listening ...

The Rainbow Children (NPG). Review by Bill Campbell.
... acid-jazzy progressive R&B song that ends 10 minutes later in a Santana-esque jam. "Muse 2 the Pharaoh" is a ballad that continues in that D'Angelo/Erykah Badu/Jill Scott/Angie Stone milieu. Then Prince dips his feet into electronic waters with "Digital Garden." While one speculates that no musical ...

Denials Delusions and Decisions (MCA). Review by Matt Cibula.
... some more, she goes after the other girl, and herself ("Common sense shoulda played a part"), and fate and life itself. It's a stunner in full-on Erykah Badu mode, and I'm loving it all the way... because it's gorgeous, and because I don't want her to beat me up. Jag's voice is rich and pretty and hard ...
