Artist Spotlight: Erykah Badu

-
It was 13 years ago when a young Erykah Badu entered the music world with her "Baduizm" album and it was unlike anything we had heard at the time. Here was a young woman who didn't dress like the average R&B singer and got comparisons to legends such as Billie Holiday. Over the years Erykah Badu has continued to expand her own legacy always going left when everyone else goes right. Though she has lost me a bit over the years; I have since been digging her new single; "Window Seat".

One of my co-workers was singing the song at work and it had been in my head ever since. The video the single; "Window Seat" was just released and it has everyone talking. What we come to expect for a video treatment to a song titled; "Window Seat" is the complete opposite. Instead Erykah vows to display a message in the video and song. Stripping down to the bare minimum Erykah Badu flaunts her stuff through her hometown of Dallas, Texas. Onlookers watch in shock as Erykah removes little by little until she is revealed in her birthday suit. There's more to the video but if you've yet to see it; I won't spoil the surprise.

Erykah's new album; 'New Amerykah 2: Return Of The Ankh" picks up where her last album; "New Amerykah: 4th World War" left off. The album will be in stores March 30. To support the album; Erykah has made a slew of appearances on "The Jimmy Fallon Show" and "The Wendy Williams Show". Make sure you check out the new album!

It is the sheer originality and creatively that keeps Erykah Badu light years ahead of the competition. This is why the spotlight is on Erykah Badu!

You all, my readers, my visitors; my supporters; you have made this post one of the most successful posts on my blog. I kept wondering what it was about this post, that made it so successful; one word: JANET! The fact that Janet has new music on the way makes this post even more of a hot topic. As its been said before, no one sings about sex quite like Janet Jackson. Her songs, ooze with the right amount of sexuality perfect for a night of steamy sex. Take a look back at a number of songs Janet is responsible for delivering her in trademark breathy delivery. I took the liberty of adding a few other songs that didn't make the list before.  "Warmth" This song begins with echos of Janet saying "...in my mouth". By then you should already know what this song is about. Janet sings about the "warmth" of her mouth and how she pleases her lover; Jermaine Dupri at the time. This is a very sensual song and it is one of the most explicit Janet has ever record...
