Erykah Badu’s forthcoming fifth studio LP, New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh), is due at the end of March, a sequel to 2008’s New Amerykah Part One (4th World War). With production assistance from Madlib, J Dilla, James Poyser and Georgia Anne Muldrow, amongst others, the album promises to be one of the most accomplished urban releases of 2010.
Just a few hours ago, Badu leaked the first single from the new record, “Window Seat”, via her Twitter account. It’s a sparkling piece of late night, loungin’ neo-soul, filled with bongo and sultry vocal. You can download the song for free here.
New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh) is slated for release on 30 March 2010 on Universal Motown.
