Hello All,
Welcome to this month's Mid Month Missive. How are you all enjoying Baduizm? Here are a few links to help you dive deeper into the album.
🎧 First up, here's a playlist of the official videos from the album (On & On, Next Lifetime and Other Side of the Game (I couldn't find an Appletree video))
A couple of the videos feature Andre 3000 who was her partner for several years. Fun fact - Outkast's Ms. Jackson was inspired by Erykah's mum.
🎧 We're big fans of NPR Tiny Desk here at The Long Play, so we think you might enjoy Erykah's 2018 performance which includes a performance of Rimshot.
🎧 Here's a great review of the album from Pitchfork - https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/erykah-badu-baduizm/
🎧 And this short history of Neo-Soul is worth diving into to understand Baduizm's place in history - https://timeline.carnegiehall.org/genres/neo-soul
🎧 Did you know 4 Leaf Clover is a cover of an Atlantic Starr track - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHquXIaHFAw
🎧 And Certainly (Flipped It) features a Kool and the Gang sample from this song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SFt7JHwJeg
