Indeed, no one could have predicted just how unique her trajectory would be when the singer and songwriter-born Erica Wright, in Dallas, in 1971-first became a leading light of the neo-soul movement alongside friends like D’Angelo and The Roots with the 1997 release of her first hit single, “On & On,” and Baduizm, her impossibly cool full-length debut.
