Mama's Gun

Nu slechts € 6,50 R&B diva Erykah Badu's long-awaited second studio release finds her incorporating pronounced jazz influences into her history-cognisant mixture of hip-hop and soul. Jazzy touches, from the vibes on ''My Life'' to the ballad ''Orange Moon'', with its languid upright bass and bop-schooled piano, abound. Jazz trumpeter extraodinaire Roy Hargrove was responsible for all the horn arrangements on MAMA'S GUN. ''Booty'''s Crusaders-style horns and loose, funky rhythm nod to mid '70s R&B, and the guitar lines on ''Bag Lady'' could have come off a vintage Marvin Gaye album. With its delicate acoustic guitar textures, lush background vocals, and '70s-style keyboards, ''A.D. 2000'' occupies a classy middle ground between Sade and HISSING OF SUMMER LAWNS-era Joni Mitchell. The album closes with the adventurous, suite-like ''Green Eyes''. The first section of the song finds Badu crooning in a '30s jazz-blues style over crackles that emulate a scratchy old 78. The second ''movement'' grows jazzier, led by flute and punctuated by acoustic bass lines and brush-strokes on the drums. The final section bears a more modern R&B feel, with syncopated rhythms and a carefully arranged horn section. Ultimately, Badu's self-description of an ''analogue girl in a digital world'' proves highly apt on MAMA'S GUN.
