Erykah Badu's EP-length 2003 release pushes neo-soul into experimental territory with unconventional song structures and adventurous production. The music feels looser and more spontaneous than her previous albums, with jazz and funk influences more pronounced. Badu's vocals are characteristically expressive while her lyrics address love, politics, and personal philosophy with intelligence and wit. The production incorporates live instrumentation with electronic elements creating organic yet futuristic sound. Track lengths vary dramatically with some extending past seven minutes, allowing grooves to develop fully. Essential neo-soul demonstrating Badu's continued artistic growth and willingness to prioritize experimentation over commercial expectations. A bridge between her earlier work and later innovations.
