The album that launched neo-soul. Subterranean bass whomp meets Badu's smoky, double-reed voice over Tribe Called Quest-type beats with an organic, hip-hop-informed soul feel. 'On & On' walks a bassline through esoteric Five Percenter lyrics with the confidence of someone who knows she's inventing a genre. 'Next Lifetime' aches with warm, pillowy production about meeting the right person at the wrong time. 'Otherside of the Game' was re-recorded with The Roots in Philadelphia after Badu grew dissatisfied with earlier sessions. Their organic hip-hop sensibility gave the album its final character. Grammy winner for Best R&B Album.
