This review is from: Mama's Gun [Vinyl] (Vinyl)

I really dig Miss Badu. When this album was released I was very excited and liked it very much from the first listen. Track one is a bit gutsier than her usual smooth sound, but Eryka explores all human emotions and this song kicks. The lyrics on this recording show a maturity I hope continues to grow. This is a very creative artist that stays close to the soul/r&b tradition but manages to push the envelope with emotion and creativity. The self titled first disc is good too and the live album is as well, but buy the latter one for the playful track "Tyrone". If you're into soulful but modern female r&b stuff, and like introspective but open delivery of lyrical ideas then this girl's the one. I'd like to see more recordings from this talented elusive artist, but the goods come slowly.
