"Kiss Me" - Erykah Badu (2001)

[@crownedmelaninqueen]

That flute is sick! Love her!

[@tondajohn]

Scthomas Joe Yes. Day flute is life.

[@marcus.6487]

yezsuh'...✌🏿™️

D'angelo coined that phrase himself. He called it that in an interview when he first emerged on the scene. I'm glad it stuck because it is different then the way soul music used to be. Neo-soul is more expressive and artistic. Soul artists like Aretha, Chaka, and Gladys have a more classic traditional sound. Neo-soul pushes the envelope with their sense of style, expression, abstract lyricism, and the delivery of a performance.

[@melatoninhelpmesleep858]

erykah said that it was her A&R/Manager who coined it so it could be promo'd as something totally new instead of being lumped into R&B

[@fragileth1ng]

I appreciate the realness. She said " bring me water for these flowers growing out of my mind." Most people think all they need is be caring and loving but a love that doesn't teach is worthless. She is a real woman. I pray I find someone like her; a beautiful Netert.

[@marcus.6487]

right on ✌🏿

[@zakiahjudahisrael144]

Never get tired of Erykah..... Such an inspiration with her songs.

[@leepitts8596]

[@sweet2def]

I love her, she's SOOO damn pretty, talented and too real for half the so called artists these days. I've been blessed enough to see her live in concert twice and i'll keep going until the day i die lol. Erykah is QUEEN mwah! xxx

[@MoneyOverFame]

Arguably the greatest female artist of our lifetime.

[@trinidad718]

[@mikaowx]

E.B. is a wicked good performer. I personally like this material taken from the beginning of her career more than what she does nowadays and you're absolutely right, when watching you've got the feeling as if the entire ancestry had appeared and started to dance and sing in front of our mortal eyes, man --> stunning, BIG THUMBS UP!

[@denyshulak3592]

So far the best implementation of this song I've found on the internet. Any chance to buy/get this in a better quality?

[@mrsamo17]

[@conorhoney7776]

Erykah badu's live shows were obviously on another level

[@erlowdown2]

lovely

[@nici010376]

Why are you typing all of these paragraphs about the phrase neo-soul? D'angelo coined it. It stuck. It appealed to a new generation of listeners and infused hip-hop elements with it as well. It is Different than the traditional, classic form of soul music. This is coming from a music teacher who has studied countless hours of contemporary music history. And guess what??? The neo-soul era is pretty much over. That's just the way commercial music evolves. Its all about techno-pop now.

[@Sunlightphil]

Awesome :) Thank You

[@tsisili]

kann mir mal bitte jemand sagen, welche stilrichtungen in diese musik einfließen?! ich höre soul-, funk-, jazz- und motownelemente oder liege ich da verkehrt???

[@tommyp071]

wow! I feel like I've just been made LOVE to! she's such a sensual beauty, and this performance, for me, makes it feel personal

[@tonylangmach9535]

I think-She `s maybe mother Earth !? ;0)

[@TuscanWonder]

How does she do that "thing" at the end around 5:29 and 5:37.. I've been practicing that for 2 years and still can't get it

[@Gafanhas]

@FknGvna Well, honeydelune79 and I think so... untill now, 2 x 1. can we make a vote here?

[@virtue737]

i want somebody to breathe on my neck, too Erykah!!! sometimes it's just the small things that do it for me.

[@rosiaa]

amaziiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

[@angelagarb]

NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE HER.... PERIOD.

[@jackiejacksful]

I woke up singing this song this morning.
