#2381 Erykah Badu - New Amerykah Part 2: Return of the Ankh

Silky, sultry R&B, with a throbbing, pulsing backing, dense with funky, dark-jazz bass, predicting the rise of the Thundercat/Brainfeeder scene. Badu's voice isn't my cup of tea, the reedy mewling feels put on at times - but there's a spirit of freedom, warm longing, the release of smoke, the feeling of flight, flecked with micro-interludes that give is a loose feel, hanging out, letting the days evaporate 3.5/5
