Today’s tune is from the talented Erykah Badu! To be honest, I’m not a fan of all of music, but this song definitely has a beat that will get your head bobbin’!
Badu is a singer/songwriter, actress and activist, and has been in the music biz for years. Her style of music includes elements from R&B, Hip Hop & Jazz, but she is best known for her role in the rise of Neo Soul. What I love about her music, is unlike common R&B, she likes to send a deeper message. You can really feel and get a sense of her personal take on life through her lyrics. The majority of Badu’s music is majorly influenced by her beliefs of the “NOI” (the Nation of Islam) and her African roots and heritage. Today’s track is off her album “New Amerykah Part One (4th World War)” (released in 2008) and is called “Soldier”. Enjoy!
Cheers!
