Frogtoon Musique - Informations sur la chanson: On & On

On & On" Is A Song By American Neo-Soul Singer Erykah Badu Released As The First Single From Her Debut Album Baduizm 1997 . Released In January 1997 The Song Won Best Female R&B Vocal Performance At The 1998 Grammy Awards. It Spent Two Weeks At Number-One On The US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart And Went To Number 12 On The US Billboard Hot 100. It Reached The Same Position On The UK Singles Chart. Patrick Corcoran From Albumism Said That "with Its Talk Of Ciphers And Cups Of Tea" "On & On" "cast Her As Serenely Disassociated From The Troubles And Strife Of The World Somehow Able To Rise Above It All." 3 Larry Flick From Billboard Wrote "While Everyone Else Is Trying To Mimic Faith Evans And Mary J. Blige Newcomer Badu Is Going One Step Further. She Is Taking The Jeep-Soul Concept And Expanding It With Her Own New Ideas. With The Aid Of Producers Bob Power And Jamal Cantero She Infuses Elements Of African Culture With A Touch Of Middle-Eastern Vocal Flavor. The Result Is A Refreshing And Adventurous Single That Could Easily Lure Hard-Core Hip-Hop Kids—and Their Parents Too. This Bodes Extremely Well For The Creative Depth And Commercial Reach Of The Forthcoming Album "Baduizm"." 4 Ralph Tee From Music Week's RM Dance Update Rated The Song Four Out Of Five Adding That Badu "sounds A Touch Like A Young Ella Fitzgerald On This Sparse But Effective Debut. Booming Bass Jazzy Keyboards And Percussion Hold The Track Together This Not Being The Most Typical Of R&b Records But A Healthy Alternative To The Hip Hop/swing Side Of Soul That D'Angelo And Maxwell Have Already Lapped Into. Erykah Badu Is Depicted As A Maid In A Black Family Household In The Music Video For The Single Showing Her Doing Her Chores. Scenes Of Her Chasing A Dog That Bit The Laundry That She Put To Dry Tying A Little Girl's Hair Into A Ponytail And Falling Into Mud Could Be Seen Throughout The Video. The Video Ends With Badu Dressed Fully In Green With Several People In A Farm Singing And Dancing. The Video Is Loosely Based Upon The 1985 Film Adaptation Of Alice Walker's The Color Purple. The Video Was Also Nominated At The 1997 MTV Video Music Awards Including Best Female Video And Best R&B Video Slant Magazine Listed The Song At Number 46 In Their Ranking Of "The 100 Best Singles Of The 1990s" In 2011 Writing "Boasting The Roundest Bassline Since Digable Planets Got Cool Like Dat "On & On" Is Erykah Badu's Mission Statement From A Higher Plane. Her Money Might Be Gone She Might Be All Alone But She's Feeling High And Mighty And The Siren Song Pours Forth From Her Honeyed Lips Like A Fount Of Alien Wisdom. Backed By A Languorously Snapping Swinging Backbeat And Expansive Half-Heard Piano Chords That Repeatedly Collapse Back On Themselves "On & On" Is As Sonically Introspective As Its Creator A Woman Who Can Believably Claim To Have Walked The Entire Cipher Of Earth Clear Her Throat Utter "Goddammit I'ma Sing My Song " And Still Seem Like She's Hiding More Than She's Revealing.
