Title: Badu is Back!
Product review: From the first whispered words of "Penetentiary Philosophy" to the last notes of the beautiful "Green Eyes," this CD is a masterpiece. It is definitely not Badu by the numbers. After hearing Bag Lady, and liking it but not loving it, I was a little worried that maybe Ms. Badu wasn't up to the task of creating an album as stunning as her first. Like D'Angelo's "Voodoo" compared with "Brown Sugar," "Mama's Gun" does not stick to the formula of "Baduizm," it strikes out into new territory. The fact that she changed the order of the songs at the last minute is a little bit annoying, but not just because the booklet doesn't have things right--but because she dropped the song she wrote with Bilal. Guess there just wasn't enough room! Buy this CD--its the best of 2000.
