Baduizm [VINYL]

Product Information

BADUIZM's strength lies in her ability to filter jazz vocals through hip-hop without any fuss or fanfare. Continuing with it's Respect The Classics initiative, UMe reissue this album in it's entirety, on double vinyl LP for the first time. We are particular about details such as the texture of the jacket and the atmosphere of the record, and even the grooves of the record are hand-carved one by one. Every record is shipped in original factory-applied shrink wrap and has never been touched by human hands. Products labelled '*item fulfilled by Exertis on behalf of hmv' will be supplied to you directly by Exertis via their approved couriers.

Blending hip-hop with traditional soul and jazz vocal stylings, Erykah Badu took the music world by storm with her first album "Baduizm" in 1997.For items that are dispatched using our standard service, we ask that you wait 14 days from the date of dispatch before reporting any items as undelivered. I don’t understand some of the negative feedback Chalkys get - I have never had any problem and would absolutely recommend them. Recording sessions for the album took place from January to October 1996 in New York City, Philadelphia, and Dallas. Jazz fans certainly weren't confusing her with Cassandra Wilson -- Badu had a bewitching voice, and she treasured her notes like the best jazz vocalists, but she often made the same choices, the hallmark of a singer rooted in soul, not jazz.

My only minor niggle is that a cd that is in a cardboard sleeve maybe could do with being sent out in sturdier packaging.The last time a black woman came across in mainstream black pop as so nakedly her own creation and with so much creative control, her name was Sade. Secondary copies sent out will be opened and inspected before being re-shipped to guarantee a non defective replacement. Though many fans would dislike (and probably misinterpret) the comparison, she's closer to Diana Ross playing Billie Holiday -- as she did in the 1972 film Lady Sings the Blues -- than Holiday herself. VG/EX means that the item's sleeve is in Very Good condition and the disc is in Excellent condition.
