Graphic T Shirt Erykah Badu
Erykah Badu used to be a rapper in her teens. After recording a few demos in which she tried singing, the label signed a recording contract and wanted Badu to pursue that style of music. Badu’s songs therefore have differences, especially when their content talks about real stories and thoughts in life.
The first album Baduizm (1997) introduced music listeners to Erykah Badu and was also the time when people learned the phrase Neo Soul, invented by the boss of Motown Records, Kedar Massenburg, also to market Badu’s music at that time. hour. And it must be said that this introduction was incredibly successful, when this record became her masterpiece.
At that time, Badu did not sing music like Mary J. Blige, but followed a more alternative music style. If we were to talk about musical similarities, Badu would be in the same group as D’Angelo, Maxwell and Lauryn Hill. At that time, she did not like any labels attached to her music genre, and the phrase Neo Soul was like a marketing ploy to differentiate and create curiosity, which easily faded away.
When Soul music still has a solid position in the music market, is the word “neo” with the same meaning as “new” which means “refreshed”, “modernised”, is it necessary?
However, reality has proven the opposite. It must be said that Neo Soul has its own unique features and true characteristics. If we just look at the background music created by the instruments and rhythm of the song, they are influenced by Hip Hop music, especially when Erykah Badu’s songs have harmonies running in a loop.
This loop does not create boredom. The beauty of the music, in addition to the steady rhythm like Hip Hop, lies in each chord (mostly minor chords) as they are extended chords with many added notes, not only making it strange to the ears. The timbre is more Jazz, but also makes that timbre wander, move, always have both tension and continuous release, it sounds very beautiful. That non-boring loop is also achieved thanks to the variation in the extremely cool instrument playing of this music genre, to create surprises throughout the song’s duration.
The “enchantment” in Erykah Badu’s music does not stop here. It is the spontaneity and richness in the way the melody is expressed on that looping background, which is closest to the Soul music roots of this genre. And so, Badu’s expression is full of magic here.
Of course, not everyone who meets her is “enchanted” and of course not everyone who listens to her music is “enchanted”. But it is true that if anyone is caught in the right wave with Badu, or in another tongue-in-cheek way, caught in the sights of the “Badu witch”, then there will certainly be changes for those people, more or less. And for those who are “enchanted” by her music, that transformation is definitely in their musical taste
