It has been worth a wait for the second part of Erykah's album! Only this time she is more soulful, reminds me more of her earlier albums,
but this one is more current in terms of her experiences, her feelings and music sounds alot different.
Artists have to evolve and grow, and thats exactly what she does. I know alot of people might say that this album is disappointing, because it doesnt
remind that much of old erykah, but you cannot be producing same music through centuries!
I'm her direction, อัลบั้ม ถ้า คุณ ไม่ พอใจ ผม ขอ แนะนำ ให้ คุณ ไป ฟัง ชีวิต ของ เธอ like! เธอสะกดจิตคุณด้วยเสียงของเธอ!

Having at this point only released three studio albums in a career that at this point had been a decade long Erykah Badu decided to focus her energies on a series of conceptual albums that would keep her consistantly making music for a good while to come. This is the first volume of the series. Ever mindful not only of her love and genuine respect for not only the music but the spirit of jazz-funk Erykah follows her muse here in every possible way she can. With the exception of the intro "Amerykahn Promise" and "The Cell" the music here generally shys away from uptempo funk and in doing so does prove a point. Not only is funk by it's nature a somewhat slower music but often enough it's been felt that such a slower burning variety of groove will bring more attention to the lyrics. Of course it should also be noted that the two uptempo songs here have the most driving messages of the albums overall concept. This was released in an era where there was a lot of uncertainty in the country and world at large and the very poor economics of the period were having intense effects on the music industry Erykah was a part of,however awkward that may have been for her. The general message in this music has to do with the facts as she saw them: that a whole society of people wanting to improve the conditions of their lives in the 60's and 70's had,for one reason or another found that the generation after them had neglected that promise and/or been neglected themselves and,more importantly that no one seemed to be paying attention. Here we find tales of people still trapped in the same ghetto syndromes of poverty and lack of knowledge that had stirred so much awareness in the past so it's only fitting that this album actually has more a 70's flavor than you'd believe. The album has this charred There's a Riot Goin' On-era Sly feel to it,only difference being there are a lot of hip-hop effects added into the mix. "Honey",the bonus cut here is the only song I'd have to actually stands out more as an individual piece of music on what otherwise winds up being a very album oriented project. The album certainly packs more individual punches verbally,in terms of lyrics than it does musically but it does have a nice slow burning acid funk-jazz flow to it all anyway. Honestly......the album looks a lot more exciting than it sounds in the end due to the fact everything from the vocals,the arrangements and even the powerful lyrics seem to hint at some mild personal 8 is a part of his resignation. Work for us at the end of this chapter meonyi Erykah Badu is the song Lucky

Like her album to listen to you about her life to see if you can not please. With her voice, she loved you.

Erykah Badu has been known to have her feet firmly planted on the ground and her head somewhere in another dimension. Even when some of her songs make me scratch my head and wonder "what the....?!" I still enjoy them for the most part. The first installment of her New Amerykah series found the singer at her most aggressive and politically charged taking on social issues like inner city crime, poverty, and racism with jams like Soldier and That Hump. Return of the Ankh, the next installment, trades in Badu's razor sharp philosophy on what's going on in the world for softer topics like love and matters of the heart. Erykah has been quite open about love on her earlier albums, but she digs deeper and allows herself to be even more vulnerable on this one.

The album opens with the too short 20 Feet Tall. Accompanied by a rocking chair and a mystical beat, she wonders why her lover has closed himself off from her. "My love what did I do?/to make you fall so far from me?.... Then you/you built a wall/a 20 foot wall so I couldnt see." Erykah wishes to escape from the daily pressures from her "music, lover, and my babies" and get "a ticket outta town/A look around/and a safe touch down" on the laidback Window Seat. I don't know about you, but there have been many moments where escapism has tempted me from facing the oftentimes stressful moments in life. But you still want someone who needs you back home to tell you to "come back, come back, baby, come back!"

Turn Me Away (Get MuNNY) could best be described as a gold digger's anthem. Using a soft, girly voice with a hopscotch sounding rhythm, Badu uses her charm to swindle a guy out of his money. She promises to "cook like your mother" and "be your best friend", but confesses "I'm your predator, hey/Cuz Munny I want you bad!" On the flip side, the airy Gone Baby, Don't Be Long is about being so in love with a new flame that you don't want him out of your sight for a second. "Where you going why don't you stop?/Baby, what's the rush?/You got me feeling like a girl with the fiendish crush/Where you go, where you go, boy, I miss you much!" "But I know you gotta get your hustle on" (a nod to The Otherside of the Game).

Love reminds me alot of the last scene in Crooklyn with the old footage of the Soul Train dancers. I'm not sure what song it samples, but it's reminiscent of James Brown's old school dirty funk. "Never ever met a lover quite like you/Thought I fell in love with Superman, it's true/Kryptonite can't make you come up off that thing/Baby, baby, I'm about to go insane!" That's about it as far as the lyrics are concerned, but it's hypnotic and holds my attention all of it's 6 minutes and 2 seconds. Erykah's verses vibe perfectly with another old school sample as she asks a man who shuts her out when it comes to his feelings to open up to her on the soulful Umm Hmm. The jazzy You Loving Me (Session) is much too short. With lyrics "too terrible to write" in the booklet, Badu sings about a man so blinded by his love for her that he ignores her constant cheating and disrespectful behavior. Amy Winehouse would probably give it two thumbs up.

Fall in Love (Your Funeral) is a warning to any man out there that if they want to get with Miss Badu they'll have to meet her standards. "It's gonna be some/Slow sangin' and flower bringin'/If my burglar alarm starts ringin'!" She'd much rather you "go back the way you came" if you can't handle it. The overused sample of Eddie Kendricks' Intimate Friends sound fresh on this track. Rather than being in the forefront, it blends in with the background for a more understated feel. Agitation is a short Stevie Wonder inspired interlude and the instrumental Incense features a dreamy harp and some heavenly vamps from Badu.

Out My Mind, Just in Time recalls Green Eyes from the Mama's Gun LP. At first a "recovering undercover over-lover/recovering from a love I can't get over", she wrestles with the grief the end of a love affair often brings. By the end of the song she finds the strength to move on and grow from the pain. It's not as good as Green Eyes, but I give Erykah credit for bringing something new to the subject rather than rehashing or copying her older material. Love. Sometimes it makes your heart burst with pleasure or tear in shreds from an attack, but we'll all feel it at some point. One thing's for sure, Badu's interpretation of it never stales.

Okay, Sade takes his time between albums, but when we finally got a new one, we know what we already know: It was worth the wait. This album, like all albums of Sade, is a breakthrough and can be heard from beginning to end. There are songs that really stand out as obvious radio single, but I think part of the coherence and beauty of an album by Sade. Listeners and fans, but will no doubt helped individual.
