Erykah Badu

Window Seat is that classic Badu! hopefully the rest of the album goes this route as opposed to jump in the air.

Erykah Badu will perform her new single "Window Seat" on Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday, March 3 with The Roots doing back up.

Thanks for those. "Agitation" sounds awesome as I expect it would. The instrumentation reminds me of a 4Hero track for some reason. A nice jazz, orchestra vibe.

"Don't be long" is really nice as well. Her voice reminds me of Minnie Ripperton a bit on that track.

Please let "Get Money" leak!!!!!!!

I really like Don't Be Long, and can't wait to add it to my collection of Baduizms.

I don't even own a cd-player but this will be the first album I purchase in this decade. I need to see her live! ASAP

That performance was EPIC!!! Erykah, The Roots and James Poysner!!!

Erykah has the body of a Goddess!! Those curves and thick thighs . For a moment I thought I was straight.

So excited for this record. Will be the second I purchase in 2010 after Sade.

Wow, The Roots with E. Badu is a blast from the past. That brings back some memories right there. Wasn't that Eve who was rapping too?

Yeah, that was Eve doing that verse in that song. Originally Jill Scott was suppose to perform the song although she co-wrote it with the Roots, but Erykah Badu sang the song and was put in the video instead.

 

[Drebin]

Awesome! It's one of the tracks she produced with Madlib.

It sucks that the leaked snippet of "Agitation / Gone Baby Don't Be Long" was pulled offline. I wanted to hear "Gone Baby Don't Be Long" again to hear the sample of Wing's "Arrow Through Me".

Aw well, I'm praying for a leak LOL. I am wrong for doing so, but I'm just desperately eager to hear this album in its entirety.

"Strawberry Incense" is the name of the game, forgive me.

thanks for this! specially the extra bonus

I Can't Wait!!!

You can now preview Part II on Amazon.com.

Even though I only heard thirty seconds worth of each, "Umm Hmm" and "Love" are already my faves out the pack. I can't wait to hear the whole album in full. Judging from the clips, it sounds like Miss Badu has got another start-to-finish masterpiece on her hands. I swear she's exactly like FedEx, bitch always delivers.




The Amazon tracklisting for Return of the Ankh is a bit different from the original one that was posted before....I'm assuming this new one is the official tracklisting:

1. 20 Feet Tall
2. Window Seat
3. Agitation
4. Turn Me Away (Get MuNNY)
5. Gone Baby, Don't Be Long
6. Umm Hmm
7. Love
8. You Loving Me (Session)
9. Fall in Love (Your Funeral)
10. Incense
11. Out My Mind, Just In Time (Parts 1-3)





Sidenote-someone was a dear and decided to reupload the snippets for "Agitation" and "Gone Baby, Don't Be Long":





Enjoy the Ankh, my peoples.

Pure torture!

Are these the only Lilith dates she's scheduled ???

The Amphitheatre at Clark County

Sat, Jul 3 Seattle, WA (feat. Erykah Badu, Colbie Caillat, Sheryl Crow and A Fine Frenzy)
The Gorge Amphitheatre

 

[Anton98]

Already pre-ordered my copy on iTunes, I didn't listen to any of the leak songs so I'm ready for a treat.

 

[EvilTwinTwo]

And I don't know what in the hell would possess Amazon to pull down the previews for Return of the Ankh. But that's okay; after doing a little digging I was able to relocate the snippets. Again, this will have to suffice until the album leaks in full.... which astonishingly enough hasn't happened yet.

20 Feet Tall

Agitation

Turn Me Away (Get MuNNY)

Gone Baby, Don't Be Long

Umm Hmm

Love

You Loving Me (session)

Fall in Love (Your Funeral)

Out My Mind, Just in Time

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I believe Erykah recorded the 3 part album in her home studio if I'm not mistaken.
