Torrent description
Erykah Badu - Mama\'s Gun
Audio CD (November 21, 2000)
Original Release Date: November 21, 2000
Label: Motown
A true tour de force, Mama\'s Gun is that rare sophomore album that shows a maturing artist at her best. Erykah Badu\'s voice was always her main attraction--its unique sound has been compared to Billie Holiday and Chaka Khan. Here, it\'s her skill with that voice that shines. Badu shapes her instrument to suit her material (all of it written or cowritten by her). A full range is represented: On faster, danceable tracks like \"Penitentiary Philosophy\" and \"Booty,\" she sounds gritty and funky. On softer, more introspective tracks, like \"A.D. 2000\" and the single \"Bag Lady,\" she shows amazing restraint, letting her voice travel lightly over the notes, allowing the songs\' emotions to guide her performance. The high point of the disc is Badu\'s duet with Stephen Marley, \"In Love with You,\" easily the sweetest, truest love song of the year. That alone is reason enough to buy the disc--and you won\'t regret having done so. --Courtney Kemp
This album is so refreshing, Erykah is to be commended as an artist. You may like rembrandt, picasso, or monet for different reasons, I\'m like that with jill scott, vivian green, and erykah badu. Erykah, like the two aforementioned, is very serious about her craft, and it shows in the quality of lyrics, emotion,attention to detail in the music. Can\'t stop listening to it.

Here is Erykah\'s best work by far. Only her Live album even begins to approach the sheer brilliance of this cd. Right away there are three defining songs here, \"Orange Moon\", \"Time\'s A Wastin\" and the off-the-chart \"Green Eyes\". \"Green Eyes\" is 10 minutes of sheer Badu induced heaven. She reminds me so much of young Chaka Khan it’s spooky. Everything about this album is pretty much as good as gets. There is a different version of \"Bag Lady\" here than what was originally on the radio and it works. Of course “Didn\'t Cha Know” is another favorite. There is no doubt in my mind that the sheer quality of this CD stands head and shoulders above nearly anything out there today. No R&B collection is complete without this CD.
