Baduizm is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Erykah Badu. It was released on February 11, 1997, by Kedar Records and Universal Records.[5] After leaving university in order to concentrate on music full-time, Badu then began touring with her cousin, Robert `Free` Bradford, and recorded a 19-song demo, Country Cousins, which attracted the attention of Kedar Massenburg. He set Badu up to record a duet with D`Angelo, `Your Precious Love,` and eventually signed her to a record deal with Universal. Recording sessions for the album took place from January to October 1996 in New York City, Philadelphia, and Dallas.[6]

Baduizm was met with positive reviews from music critics who praised the album`s musical style and Badu`s artistic vision; other critics noted similarities between Badu and Billie Holiday. Baduizm was a commercial success, debuting at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart and number one on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. The album was certified three times platinum by Recording Industry Association of America,[7] Gold by British Phonographic Industry[8] and Gold by the Canadian Recording Industry Association.[9]

Baduizm was promoted with the release of four singles: `On & On`, `Next Lifetime`, `Otherside of the Game`, and `Appletree`. The album received many accolades, including the Grammy Award for Best R&B Album at the 40th Grammy Awards. Along with fellow contemporary albums such as D`Angelo`s Brown Sugar (1995) and Maxwell`s Urban Hang Suite (1996), Baduizm`s success helped establish Badu as one of the leading artists in the neo-soul genre and is one of the albums credited with contributing to the genre`s commercial visibility at the time.
