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.\r\n\"Booty\"'s Crusaders-style horns and loose, funky rhythm nod to mid '70s R\u0026amp;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\u0026amp;B feel, with syncopated rhythms and a carefully arranged horn section. Ultimately, Badu's self-description of an \"analog girl in a digital world\" proves highly apt on MAMA'S GUN.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/21\/2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest Sellers: Top Seller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Erykah Badu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44581441208553,"sku":"TGJEEZ-4BOF-00","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/erykah-badu-mamas-gun-2-lps_3aKJS.jpg?v=1740327492","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/erykah-badu-mamas-gun-2-lps","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
