Album Spotlight: Erykah Badu - Mama's Gun

-
Erykah Badu followed up her wildly popular debut album; "Baduizm" up with the 2000 release; "Mama's Gun". The album; to me was a continuation of "Baduizm". Here; the melodies were more soulful; more drawn out; and the creativity more expounding.

One of my favorite songs from this album is "Didn't Cha Know" which was also a single. The video was very tantalizing as it featured Erykah alone in a desert unsure of which way to go. What was even more interesting was that Erykah finally revealed what she had under her signature headwraps.

The album is also interesting since the tracklisting on the album doesn't match what's on the actual album. Erykah Badu does note that the tracklisting was changed at the last minute and only a few of the album's tracks contains lyrics. It is somewhat bizarre but this is Erykah Badu we are talking about.

But back to the music; there is cool, relaxing jazzy undertones of "Orange Moon", the autobiographical "My Life", the funky "Booty" and so much more. This is a really good album and definitely for the mature crowd. Make sure you check it out if you haven't already.

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
