 On February 26th, Erykah
Badu released New Amerykah Part 1,
4th World War which sold 124,000
copies during its first week of release. Erykah
Badu is already making plans for New Amerykah Part 2,
Return of the Ankh and a third
album. “I wanted to give away my materials,”
Badu tells Wired magazine. “It’s about
sharing, and that’s why I like this system.”
Return of the Ankh is due out in July and is
expected to be accompanied by USB sticks which
Badu says include extras ranging from footage of
concerts, to commentary on the recording process
and “me in a bathtub with Flavor Flav.”
Erykah also hinted at the fall release of a
“period piece” tentatively titled
Lowdown Loretta Brown. While she has used the
alias Loretta Brown during her live performances,
she was rather tight-lipped about how it would be
used for a full-length release saying, “I
don’t want to introduce too much of that
right now. I don’t want Gwen Stefani
stealing my shit.” |
