New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh

2010 release, the fifth studio album from the R&B/Neo-Soul superstar. In contrast to New Amerykah Part One (4th World War), which was digitally produced and political in tone, New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh features lush live instrumentation and taps into Badu's emotional side by thematically focusing on romance and relationships. "We used a lot of analog instruments...harps, strings, drums, piano, and even a Theremin, to give the album that sonic feel," says Badu. "There's a strong undercurrent of bottom, a rumbling to these songs that feels good to me. It feels like a hug." read more..

Erykah Never Let Me Down by Tony Phillips
Once again, Erykah has proven why she is the queen of Nu Soul or whatever you want to call it. While others have come and gone, she along with Jill Scott have dominated this style of music. Window Seat was my favorite until I heard the rest of the album.



Gone Baby, Don't Be Long - This is my favorite song on the album. It has that laid back smooth groove that you play while driving on a sunny cloudness day with your windows down. It also sort of reminds me of Minnie Ripperton's Here We Go. I love the electric guitar and the base in this song. The hook is extremely catchy too.



Out My Mind, Just In Time - One word. Deep. This sounds like something you would hear from her first two albums.



Umm Hmmm - I love this song. She has a creative sample of Take Some Time by Ndugu & The Chocolate Jam Co.



Window Seat - I love the piano and the base in this song.



20 Feet Tall - This is the space out jam.



The other songs are banging too.
