If there is a more perfect face, one more worth contemplating and exalting, than Erykah Badu's, I haven't seen it. And so, it makes splendid sense that Common's luscious, luminous video for "The Light" makes artful use — and art — of Erykah Badu and his overwhelming admiration for her. Not to mention her toes fresh out the shower, her arms, her lips, and all-seeing eyes. Framed as a letter to Badu, his very own lady-love, and sampling from Bobby Caldwell's sweet "Open Your Eyes," "The Light" is a charming, tender, and undeniably soulful declaration of affection and respect. Read the whole video review by Cynthia Fuchs.
