...first song, Penitentiary Philosophy, starts things off aggressively. It's a soul-rock number that wades in, chin out, fists swinging, Badu's voice wailing. Neosoul divas can sometimes drift off into sleepytime music, looking to set moods rather than stir emotions; Badu, from the first track, demonstrates that her new material has soul and guts.

What will it take to stop the tragic death of youngsters who were brutally tortured and murdered by their so-called caregivers? I applaud the social workers who are trying to make changes, and I hope that more...
