4.0 out of 5 stars
Not her #1 best album, but a MUST buy., March 11, 2008
This review is from: Honey [Vinyl] (Vinyl)
Just wanted to say that those hearing 'Honey' and expecting an album with a fundamental Badu-ish sound should be wary that this album leans heavily toward the soul side of Erykah's musical repertoire.
It's an amazing album, easily a 4 star, but with fewer immediately memorable songs, with the obvious exception of 'The Healer' and 'Honey'.
Erykah explores new vocal sounds, adding to an already enormous array of genres and tones that she has shown a mastery of over her comparitivly brief career. (when considering the long careers of some of the divas that she will most certainly be compared to posthumously)
If this album were equivalent to Baduizm or Mama's Gun it would warrant a 5 star rating. Seeing as how it is just barely under their caliber but is still an amazing effort by Erykah Badu with a couple radio gems and a large group of soul grounded hip hop Badulicious tracks.
Oh, and the Georgia Anne Muldrow track is a pairing I've waited for for quite some time. Divine!

Bangin'... {4 ½ Stars}, February 22, 2008
This review is from: Honey [Vinyl] (Vinyl)
I just happened to see the video for this song about 10 minutes ago and I love it. 9th Wonder offers up one of his best beats in a while and Erykah, well, she's just Erykah. If you know the track record of Erykah and 9th, then there's really not much else left to be said.
Check for the album on the 26th...
Peace.
