...like Dynasty and jackets with zippers all over them. On Bedtime Stories, though, she successfully pulls herself out of the time warp by surrounding herself with au courant '90s performers such as Babyface (who co-wrote two tracks on Bedtime Stories and also sings on them), critical darling Me'Shell NdegeOcello (who plays bass and raps) and Icelandic alternative diva Bjork (who co-wrote a tune). One of the songs on the new CD, Inside of Me, even shamelessly samples from Back and Forth, a pop hit by the hot teenage singer Aaliyah that is still on the Billboard charts...
