Conventional wisdom dictates that an artist should not release a live album as her second record, especially if it follows the debut by a matter of months. However,
Erykah Badu is not a conventional artist and
Live is not a conventional live album. While her debut,
Baduizm, earned strong reviews and healthy sales, her concerts became equally popular and she became known as a powerhouse live performer.
Live solidifies that reputation, delivering soulful, gritty versions of cuts from
Baduizm, a few covers, and the spectacular new single,
"Tyrone." Not only does it illustrate the depths of
Badu's talents, but
Live is as strong and captivating as
Baduizm.
