@jazzgardens ・・・ @erykahbadu is a singer-songwriter, record producer and actress. Influenced by R&B, soul, and hip hop, Badu rose to prominence in the late 1990s when her debut album Baduizm (1997), placed her at the forefront of the neo soul movement, earning her the honorific nickname "Queen of Neo Soul" by music critics. 🎶 Badu's career began after she opened a show for D'Angelo in 1994 in Fort Worth, leading to record label executive Kedar Massenburg signing her to Kedar Entertainment. Her first album, Baduizm, was released in February 1997 and was certified triple Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Her first live album, Live, was released in November 1997 and was certified double Platinum by the RIAA. Badu's other albums include Mama's Gun, Worldwide Underground, New Amerykah Part One and New Amerykah Part Two. Badu's voice has been compared to jazz singer Billie Holiday and she has been recognizable for her eccentric style. Today we celebrate Erykah Badu.
