Badu, Erykah
Mama's Gun (2lp)
Double-LP on 180-gram audiophile vinyl, presented in a gatefold sleeve with an insert. Recording sessions for the album took place from 1999 to 2000 at Electric Lady Studios in New York City. A neo-soul album, 'Mama's Gun' incorporates funk, soul, and jazz styles. It has confessional lyrics by Badu, which cover themes of insecurity, social issues and personal relationships. The album has been viewed by critics as a female companion to neo soul artist D'Angelo's second album 'Voodoo' (2000), which features a similar musical style and direction.
