![]() ![]() On Phone Down, ItsRoutine and Badu share writing credits for a track that has elements of trip-hop and R&B in just the right proportions to make for a jazzy yet trance infused track. Clocking under 7 minutes, Badu’s cover of the song combines elements of hip-hop, R&B, and psychedelia besides serving as the inspiration to Badu’s full-length work since 2010. Drake’s Hotline Bling is renamed Cel U Lar Device, and is an amazing re-telling of the pop-laced chart topper. With only 2 features on the mixtape, Badu’s reliance on her own voice and instruments such as a tuning fork and Tibetan singing bowls, to create sympathetic vibrations – a balance between the frequency of the music and vibration – has a calm and peace that has come to identify itself as the singer’s speciality.Ĭaint Use My Phone takes its title from Badu’s 1997 hit Tyrone, and much like Hi, has Badu singing the same lines in repeat on a subdued bassline and electronica, with her layered vocals, edited to make for a rather calm yet trance flavored R&B track. Inspired by current chart-toppers Hotline Bling and Hello, Badu’s collaboration with Zach Witnessin resulted in a mixtape with 11 phone-themed songs and the birth of what she calls TRap&B. Born Erica Abi Wright, Erykah Badu’s take on RnB, soul and jazz is as exotic as her stage name. Four years is a long time to wait for some music from one of R&B’s most authentic voices. ![]()
