The 1997 debut from Erykah Badu is a groovy trip of sensual bedroom R&B, seasoned with flirtatious jazz and a funk that snaps back with wicked attitude.

Erykah exudes the confidence and spiritualism of an artist way beyond her years. The voluptuous instrumentation is seductive, the desire is overwhelming but it's her rich liquid cocoa voice that lingers long after she's finished. Bow to your Queen.
