Review

The first time you press play on Baduizm, it feels like stepping into incense smoke and soft candlelight — a space where time slows, and the groove takes over. Erykah Badu didn’t just make an album here; she opened a portal to her world, one stitched together by neo-soul warmth, jazz introspection, and unfiltered spirit.

Tracks like “On & On” and “Next Lifetime” glide effortlessly, carried by Badu’s honey-smooth voice and her almost conversational phrasing. She sings like she’s lived a hundred lives and learned something precious from each of them. The production is lush yet minimal, leaving just enough air for her wisdom to hang in the room like a spell.

Baduizm was never about chasing trends — it defined them. It reintroduced soul to a generation raised on hip-hop, with Badu as both healer and provocateur. More than two decades later, it remains a masterclass in vibe, vulnerability, and vision. - Lena
