The physical copies should be at the stow' TODAY!

Another overrated new-soul artist. Another one to get naked to sell some cds.

^

My local Best Buy was nearly sold out, broham.

I can't believe people still buy CD's.... I guess it's a good thing. I download all of my new music from Amazon.com/downloads.

I went to my local F.Y.E. (For Your Entertainment) store to buy the new album today and the cashier told me that today was my lucky day because he predicted that they would sell out of every single copy of the album. And I believe they have, considering many people were at the Erykah Badu or Newest Release section. Ewww...

THAT'S RIGHT

A Neo-Soul artist that didn't stick with the african headdress Princess vibe for 13 years and someone who is daring enough to do what it takes to get her vibe out there

i just spent about an hour with erykah badu's new album but she wanted to be alone and didn't feel like entertaining. not this time indeed. the whole thing including the written introduction is an audio "out to lunch" sign. seriously that felt like a bootleg cassette.

her show next week should be interesting. i'll be back with that.

the album lacks songs, a basic concept in albums
sorry guys

i'm excited to pick this up tomorrow. woulda got it today but this day has been a headache already and trying to drive through the madness of sunset to get to amoeba at rush hour was OUT of the question.

Alamine said:

for all that talk about "concept" you seem to keep missing hers

... if anybody speak to scotty

That is what I'm afraid of.

Yeah; the concept was the right side of her brain showing emotion and love. I find that yes some songs do lack basic conception; however the more I am listening the more I am wanting to ..know more, something alot of r&b albums are LACKING...layers and thought.

I've always found with Badu's albums that they get much better the more you listen to them. For example I couldn't stand Mama's Gun the first few times (I know, I know; what was wrong with me!), then a year later I just fell in love with it.
She's the only artist who I feel I just have to keep listening to, even if I'm not feeling it as much as the last record. Maybe it's because Baduizm was one of the albums that got me through my teen years, I don't know, but there's no other artist I do that with lol

Erykah Badu performed “Window Seat” on Tuesday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”

^^^ That was a great performance of Window Seat. Not sure exactly where this album stands amongst her collection yet--it's fighting for the number one spot--but I totally love it. Whenever it comes to Erykah I have no expectations and I let the music come to me in whatever form it’s in. Coming off of Baduizm I didn’t grasp Mama’s Gun right away. When I was ready for it, I gave it another run and found it to be brilliant. She is 5 for 5 in my book. Different? Yes. Disappointment? Never.

When I saw the cover on the internet I thought it looked terrible, but now that I see it on the CD in actuality I reallt like it hahaha wtf

Kimmel was alright. Sounds better than the Part I cd all together.

I download digital singles and hard-to-find-imports, but I like to touch the actual disc and peruse liner notes and examine the cover art. The same goes for books.

Identity said:

I can't imagine doing everything strictly digital

Identity said:

Nice, thought that audience seems weak. No head bobbin' or nothin!

It's cool that she doesn't seem to let it ruin her energy too much though, how people stayed in the seats for the clip below I'll never know!

I am still prefering Part1.....so far. Thats not 2 say Part 2 is bad/worse/whatever. I am confident that it will grow (and continue 2) on me.....PLEASE play the UK.

I'm enjoying the cd more than i did part 1

So I had the honor of going to both the Jimmy kimmel mini concert AND the secret show/release party in LA last night! soooo tired...

but...amazing...

Lucky you! I wish I could see her in Miami next week. But I'm saving my coins for a tour and/or Lilith Fair. Nothing like seeing her live.
