erykah is sooo funkdafied" when i listen to her voice there is sooo many different inspirations that come to mind,billy holiday,chaka kan and so many more
Prince and Badu - so original! The both got the subtlest swing feel, raw sweet funk edge and prince can rock out like Hendrix when the feels right - both are in more than one place at the same time when they perform. Great 'stuff'!
One of the most influential singer/artists in Soul idiom in the past 100 years. LIke with the phenomenon of Aretha Franklin singers want her phrasing, her diction, her swagger and her depth of emotion. That's just the way it is. Brilliant Badu . . . and she just plain b-a-a-a-a-d-d-d enuf 4 u.
Out of everyone that sampled this from Mister Eddie Kendricks(Rest his soul) I gotta say Eryka did real good justice to his beat. . . Intimate Friends to telling a man "You don't wanna fall in love with me". . . That's a remix for damn sure. . . Like the vinyl cut and started playing backwards:) I'm young & can bump this all day and feel like a grown woman, like yeaaah nigga, you don't wanna fall in love with me. . . uuuugh, i got that flame:)
watch out Eryka! Corinne Bailey is on your ASS! JUST as ! or more attractive , with that sexy British accent and plays Guitar! TOO!~ if anyone that reads this has not heard of Corrine Bailey , punch her up ! She's all THAT!~ and SOOO! Sexy!~Now don't get me wrong! I like some Eryka! cause she sounds like no one else, she's has a her own sound which is very refreshing, A true artist!~BUT!!! If you are on a self made throne remember someone's always waiting for that chance to dethrone you~
@tedkay False...Badu is way more established we're talking 12 years of classics..without a badu there is no room for a corinne bailey no disrespect to her but it's a fact...I hear u promoting an artist u like but lets be honest..Badu is top 10 ever female r&b/soul post 1990
@Doplarmusic She is the queen of hiphop, and her lyrics are profound. I know Erykah must be a great inspiration to CBR. Plus she got a baby by andre3000 lol
@tedkay Corinne Bailey Rae was at Erykah Badu concert in London UK a few yrs ago watching from the crowd! Even she knows Erykah Badu is untouchable and she is clearly a fan!
@senjadewi ......this song is simply a declaration AGAINST co-dependency! i.e.: I'm soooo BADDDD, u don't wanna fall in <3 with me...there's gonna be some slow singing, that flower brining, if my burglar alarm starts...
love the original sample Eddie Kendricks -Intimate Friends.....but this is great!!
