The Ankh has returned! Erykah Badu celebrated Tuesday’s release of her latest album, New Amerykah Part Two: The Return of the Ankh, by performing “Window Seat” on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” At this point, I’ve seen her perform this song three different times, and I can honestly say that performance is my favorite of the three.

The Erykah Badu hype machine is in full effect! The singer has just released the video for her first single, “Window Seat” from the upcoming LP, New Amerykah Part Two: The Return of the Ankh, which comes out TOMORROW! Best believe I’ll be buying it LEGALLY on iTunes as soon as the clock strikes midnight. “Window Seat” is arguably one of Badu’s best videos, certainly one of her most creative.
Filmed in one take in Dallas’ Dealy Plaza (site of the JFK assassination), “Window Seat” features Badu walking through the streets removing every single article of her clothing, climaxing with a great statement on conformity at the end. Whether you’re an Erykah fan or not, I strongly suggest you watch this video and draw some inspiration from it.

The Erykah Badu hype machine is in full effect. Her latest album New Amerykah Part Two: The Return of the Ankh hits stores on Tuesday. The singer recently dropped a video with Lil Wayne, appeared on Jimmy Fallon, and even leaked her own track on her website. The singer has even taken time out of her busy schedule to show some love to your favorite blogger.
Yesterday I posted a link to a new song which I’m almost entirely certain is on the new album. Today I bring you footage of the singer’s live appearance on The Wendy Williams show, a performance in which, Badu later admitted on her Twitter, she forgot the words to the first verse. I don’t think anyone minds.

With less than a week to go before Erykah Badu’s latest album New Amerykah Pt. 2: The Return of The Ankh, hits the streets, it’s no surprise that tracks are beginning to leak. Check out this remix-like creation of Junior M.A.F.I.A.’s 90′s posse jam, Get Money.

I want you to hear it first at heard-words.com, so I’m not afraid to post into the wee hours of the morning. Especially when it concerns breaking news about Erykah Badu!
There are only twelve days left until the Return of the Ankh! Funktastic soul diva Erykah Badu has just released the cover art for her upcoming LP New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh on her website. I know you can’t judge a cake by it’s icing but damn does that frosting look sweet! The artist behind the cover is longtime Badu collaborator Emek, who is also responsible for the cover of her last album, New Amerykah Part One: 4th World War.

Erykah Badu was on Jimmy Fallon Live, last night. I was so caught up in yesterday’s Sleigh Bells commotion I missed it. Luckily I’ve found a clip of her performing “Window Seat,” her first single from her upcoming album, New Amerykah Park II: Return of the Ankh, out later this month.

I can’t think of a better way to begin this blog then by showcasing a clip from Erykah Badu – one of my favorite artists! “Jump Up in the Air (Stay There)” features guest vocals from Bilal and rhymes courtesy of ‘Lil Weezy himself, here with a blingless gleaming white crest smile.
