Product Information

It’s tough to come up with more iconic opening phrases than the one that introduces Erykah Badu‘s 1996 debut single, “On & On”— a riff that instantly established the Dallas singer and songwriter born Erica Abi Wright as simultaneously grounded and singularly talented, seductive and spiritual. All that before Badu, who has since become a pillar of contemporary R&B, even opens her mouth. But You Caint Use My Phone by Erykah Badu on iTunes". Itunes.apple.com. November 27, 2015 .

During the recording, Badu was pregnant with her first child, son Seven Sirius, whose father is Outkast artist André 3000. The album went double platinum, and Badu's unmatchable talent was firmly established with the album's breakout song, "Tyrone," which was completely improvised on stage.

In a January 2018 interview with Vulture, Badu was asked about accusations of antisemitism based on a 2008 Haaretz article which describes her telling a Tel Aviv crowd, " [Louis] Farrakhan is not an anti-Semite. He loves all people." She denied being antisemitic, but said, "I'm a humanist. I see good in everybody. I saw something good in Hitler." After being asked to clarify her comments, Badu praised Hitler's paintings.

Badu doesn’t claim to be the queen of neo-soul, as it has been projected onto her since its inception. While she hasn’t necessarily been on board with being responsible for heading the curve, that doesn’t negate why Baduizm is the best neo-soul album of all time.

Chinwah: I don’t know if she’d like the comparison, but there had not been a voice like that, in my opinion, since Billie Holiday. It was brassy and naturally jazzy. Nobody sounded like that.

In 2009, Badu and Jay Electronica announced the birth of their daughter, Mars Merkaba. Massenburg: We used a tone of spirituality because it was close to Buddhism — like, Baduizm, this is who I am. We came up with a campaign around the phrase, “What’s your -izm?” With marketing, it was me and Erykah. That’s it. Everyone thought I was crazy — this little girl from Dallas with this thing on her head — but when they got into the album, they changed their tune. People started wearing headwraps again. Like with D’Angelo, when brothers started wearing cornrows again. It became mainstream again.
