Command Performance
She along with Rahsaan Patterson, D'Angelo and Maxwell, introduced the world to a little called 'Neo Soul'. That genre later paved the way for Eric Benet', Musiq Soulchild, India Arie, Bilal, N'Dambi and Chico Debarge just to name a few. Erykah Badu took a 'ordinary' rag and made it extraordinary. Her live performances are always a visual extravaganza. In this subtle performance, she speaks to a love that cannot work 'this' time, but perhaps in the next 'lifetime' when both parties might be free. Her delivery takes you on trips, to uncharted territories. The music is always engaging, and she has set the tone for what's 'next'. Whatever the next chapter of Ms. Badu's story, you can best believe it will be just as engaging, as the first ten years.
