Born Erica Wright in Dallas in 1971, Badu attended a school
of the arts and was working as a teacher and part-time
singer in her hometown when she opened for D'Angelo at a
1994 show. D'Angelo's manager, Kedar Massenburg, was
impressed with the performance and hooked her up with the
singer to record a cover of the Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell
duet "Precious Love". He also signed Badu to his recently
formed Kedar Entertainment label, and served as producer
for her 1997 debut album "Baduizm", which also starred
bassist Ron Carter and members of hip-hop avatars the Roots
on several tracks. She grew up listening to 70s soul and
80s hip-hop, but Erykah Badu drew more comparisons to
Billie Holiday upon her breakout in 1997, after the release
of "Baduizm". The grooves and production on the album are
bass-heavy R&B, but Badu's languorous, occasionally
tortured vocals and delicate phrasing immediately removed
her from the legion of cookie-cutter female R&B singers. A
singer/songwriter responsible for all but one of the songs
on "Baduizm", she found a number 12 hit with her first
single, "On & On", which pushed the album to number two on
the charts.
"Next Lifetime" was the second single from "Baduizm" and
came out in May 1997, peaking at number 3 on the US Hot R&B
Songs chart.
