Erykah Badu: C /D, S&D

i like!

that song sounds amazing

nice but not really loopable like window seat

like a more restrained green eyes

On twitter at the moment, Erykah is on a frantic quest to get in touch with Paul McCartney via Stella via Lenny Kravitz so she can clear a Paul McCartney sample for the album within the next 24 hours. Or else one song won't make the album. :S

Hope she replaces it with "Jump Up in the Air" if that's the case.

so what is jump up in the air actually called

"jump up in the air and stay there"
"jump up in the air (and stay there)"
"jump up in the air (stay there)"

it's when i ask questions like those that i reflect on how last.fm has ruined my life

Ha.

Watch the McCartney-sampling song be "Undercover Overlover, part 2"

Sample cleared. Crisis averted.

OMG, these two preview snippets bring what I've been waiting for!

(Feel at this point like I'ma hear this whole album before I get it in my hands.)

(Apparently samples are what does it for me, et al.)

L*U*S*H

she's so great, expectations pretty high for this now

I'm really glad she managed to clear that McCartney sample.

what is with her and the number 33? I mean, I know what I think it means, but what does she think it means?

she's obsessed with 333, not 33

okay...what about 333?

I'm just gonna do a little BRAGGIN 2010, and say I got to sit in the icy cold Studio 6B and watch Erykah and band rehearse that jam yesterday morning.

im on the 8 minute mark for the 4th time. damn damn damn damn!!!! i want a recount! why i get window seat?! i want the last 10 min song!!

"window seat" is crushingly good

I guess you could say that songs are crafted the way Subway sandwiches are made. You start with the bread, then a little bit of lettuce, then we point to the pickles and so on, and the bass line was the oil and vinegar. That's how it happens.

kinda geeky making-of tech interview

did not know whiney was producing this, congrats!

NO CHEESE ON THIS SONG PLEASE, ERYKAH

- Whiney G Weingarten

looool

wow, that is some good shit. most interesting:

-she records in the control room with no headphones, did not know that
-the part about how the engineer doesn't even like to put the vocals recorded to tape back into pro tools, because it changes the sound, damn
-madlib submitted his track as a single mp3, holy shit

madlib submitted his song as a streamable 32kbps .rm file to stay away from the whole digital vibe

YSI?

i love how she hiccups "buh-by" -- also how she abruptly ends the sentence "if anyone speak to scotty, tell em beam me up"

just had interview with her confirmed for tomorrow :D

!!

it's a politics-slanted i/view, not an arts one

can't remember when i was last really nervous about meeting an artist! prob mjb

are you going to the playback, alex? see you there, if so!
