2x`12"Nu Soul R& B & Soul Cuts On Thsi Purple Vinyl Pressed LP- Universal Motown records multi-platinum-selling, grammy-winning singer-songwriter-actress Erykah Badu releases her fifth studio album, New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh). The new album is the singer's hotly anticipated follow-up to her critically acclaimed 2008 album, New Amerykah, Part One: 4th World War.
In contrast to New Amerykah, Part One: 4th World War, which was digitally produced and political in tone, New Amerykah Part 2: Return of the Ankh features lush live instrumentation and taps into Badu's emotional side by thematically focusing on romance and relationships. It features contributions from some of the most talented, groundbreaking, underground producers and engineers in the hip-hop game, including grammy winners 9th Wonder and James Poyser, eclectic soul singer Bilal, and the late J Dilla.
Erykah Badu remains an absolute badass but the fact she doesn't release much music anymore is very frustrating. She single-handedly defied the neo-soul sounds of the 90s with a superb run of albums as good as any artist in any genre. This one, New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh), was her fifth way back in 2010 and as always it has soul to spare and a loose structure that placed you right at the centre. 'Window Seat' is one of the standout singles of many that were produced by various top talents including J Dilla, Madlib, Questlove and more.
