From “Love of My Life” to “Green Eyes,” here are the 19 best Erykah Badu songs.

Whether you know her as Erykah Badu or one of her many aliases (Fat Belly Bella, Badulla Oblongata, She iLL, Loretta Brown, Sera Bellum — it’s almost too many to name, honestly), the South Dallas native has grown to become the crowned queen of Afrofuturism thanks to her lush serenades.

Badu’s radiating energy and unmistakable green eyes have made her a household name, and her discography is still being played today, nearly 25 years after the release of her 1997 debut album, Baduizm. Since then, she’s dropped six albums, with each one cementing her legacy as one of the first ladies of neo soul.

In honor of Ms. Badu, we’ve highlighted the best songs across her catalog. From the Common-featuring “Love of My Life” to the poignant breakup track that is “Green Eyes,” here are the 19 best Erykah Badu songs.
