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.\u003cbr\u003e\"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.","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42010248413349,"sku":"602557026931","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/43112147deab4afbc42fb0c8aa51c74e.jpg?v=1780837521","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-au\/products\/mamas-gun-lp","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
