Late to the discussion but I could not let it pass... I love Erykah and I love Marie on this... Did anyone else get out of their western-american centric trip enough to LISTEN to it... No no... really think about it - Erykah Badu's sound is always moving towards the sort of improv that is Zap Mama's cultural heritage... I am talking about those of us in the diaspora wishing we had a mama who could teach us how to travel out in sound - and YET making sound according to our corner of the diaspora.... If y'all saw it as something to compare and not to celebrate as a woman from the continent meeting a woman from the diapora and linking it up in a ' pleased to meet you sister-in-song' ...well! Flame... a woman from the Caribbean... enjoying the hook up... OK.. Late to the discussion but I could not let it pass… I love Erykah and I love Marie on this…

While Bandy/Bandy is certainly one of the one's that got most of the airplay - its definately not my favorite on the album. One of the best things about Zap Mama is their ability to step into almost every genre of music and do that shit WELL. Caribbean, African, Latin, Ragga, Hiphop stlyess area all represented here. Her live shows are ridiculous! I'm a fan however of her writing and improvisational abilites! The album is really a great representation of all of these.

You forgot to mention "yelling away." That's definitely one of the tighter songs on the album. * * * Mtume says: I agree. Don't care much for Kweli's rap on "Yelling Away," but the song itself is nice. * * * haven’t heard the whole album but….
