I know it would be so long until one of the CD the best CD of 2010 was revised. This album builds on its predecessor left off and takes it to an entirely different level. For me, the whole project is "Out Of My Mind, Just In Time". Amazing song, in fact, if there is no other track on the CD that I would be equally happy with this project. As a bonus, the remaining songs are catchy, including the first single, "Window Seat", "Can not Turn Me Away" and "20 Feet Tall." It took me someTime to understand "New Amerykah Part 1, but Mo was the learning curve here. Keep the music coming Erykah ...

These songs, from the "age of sentimentality" are fresh and rewarding to hear. The quartet of singers, the New York Vocal Arts Ensemble, render these popular songs from the turn of the century with grace, style, and sweet voices. The vocalists are restrained in their approach and keep things simple (best for these tunes). The vocal arrangements are traditional, fairly simple, but handled in such a way as to evoke sweet but not saccharine sensations.

The recording is perfectly balanced, The sound is too close to dry.

Once published here only three studio albums in a career that had at this point a decade Erykah Badu decided their energies on a series of conceptual albums that would come his music consistantly do a good focus, keeping. This is the first volume of the series. Always mindful not only of their love and respect not only true for music, but the spirit of jazz-funk Erykah here follows his muse in every possible way they can. With the exception of the intro"Amerykahn Promise" and "The Cell", the music here is usually Shys away from the uptempo funk, and while not prove a point. Not only is functional by nature a bit 'slower music, but often it is considered that such a large number of slow burning groove will bring more attention to the text. Of course, should also be noted that the two uptempo songs here have been driving the message of the concept album. This was published in a time when there is great uncertainty inCountry and the world in general and the economics of the time were very poor from the impact was intense music industry Erykah, but clumsy, which may have been for them. The overall message of this music has to do with the facts as he saw them: that a whole society of people who want to improve their living conditions in the '60s and '70s, she found for one reason or another, that the generation after they had forgotten that pledge and / or have been neglected and even moreimportant that no one seemed to be respected. Here are the stories of people is still only device in the same ghetto syndromes of poverty and lack of knowledge that has been so became aware in the past was stirred so that this album is more like a 70's flavor to what you think. The album has these charred There's a Riot Goin 'On-Sly was feeling, only difference is there are a lot of the effects of hip-hop in the mix. "Honey", the bonus cut here is the only song that Iis actually more than a single piece of music, what ends up as another very album-oriented project. The album certainly packs more punch single oral, relating to the texts, as it does musically, but it's a nice flow slow-burning acid-jazz funk, the whole anyway. Honestly ...... the album sounds much more exciting than it sounds at the end due to the fact that all the voice, and also how powerful the song seems a few minor personal adviceThe resignation by Badu. But fortunately for us, this is by far not the end of the chapter in this moment of musical career of Erykah Badu.

As one who is not a major follower of Mr. Raymond, I was pleasantly surprised as to how much I enjoy this album. Having heard some of the hits on the radio, including the monster smash "Papers," I found the rest of the album to be equally as listenable.

The Atlanta native has crafted an album in which he reveals a maturity that is appealing to fans of "old school" while maintaining enough of the contemporary sound to keep his younger fan base.

Those who have complained about the album's "edits" will sway those "number one fans" who have not yet purchased the album. For the "uninitiated" and middling fans, like myself, however, I recommend the album from a young man who has many years of success ahead of him if he continues to release albums, representing a cross-section of musical interests.

This album goes in a different direction than instant vintage. It's got a more positive and upbeat feel to it. Instant Vintage has more of a laid back and realistic (lack of a better word) feel to it. Both albums are great and anything from him and tony tone toni are amazing but I really feel this one a little bit more than instant vintage. It's definitely a funky positive sound.

Buy this mans cd's. He is a true artist.

It 'been waiting for the second part of the album Erykah! is sensitive only this time as it reminds me more of her previous albums,
but this is more power in relation to their experiences, their feelings and the music sounds very different.
The artists have to evolve and grow, and this is exactly what he does. I know a lot of people say that this album is disappointing because it
I remember a lot of old Erykah, but you can not produce the same music through the ages!
I like the way it goes and if you are not satisfied with the album, I suggest you go to hear live! Will charm you with his voice!
