Erykah Badu: C /D, S&D

yes! does matos like it?

xp

well it's been out longer, eric

You're right. I'll just admit, then, that "Jump" > "Window" ... for me.

I really really do love Mama's Gun-type stuff, tho. It's just stuff I have to be way more in the mood for.

I heard it Wed night. It's GREAT.

It's less wild-ass than the first one; it ranges pretty widely while staying pretty resolutely R&B. Kind of Mama's Gun refracted through Pt. 1. Lots of piano and bass, a good amount of studio treatment but super approachable--the old fans who lost her w/Pt. 1 will like this a lot, I think. Last few songs get really torchy. A lyric that stood out: "I'm on my front porch rockin'/Like Lightnin' Hopkins." I think the above-linked preview says it well.

oh yeah i remember that

i have "jump up in the air and stay there" written on a piece of paper and taped to inside of my bedroom door -- i find it to be a very inspiring sentiment

:D

jump up in the air has gotten progressively more jawdropping with repeated plays. it's pretty raw psych funk. wayne's wasted verse works but doesn't really add anything of value

Love the fact that the metallic reverb from "Hydraulic Pump" only surfaces a couple times during the track.

i cannot wait.

bit late but i love the "jump up in the air" video

i <3 how they stop the kaleidoscope madness right when wayne pops up and says "bee-low" & makes some weird crooked face

exactly

I have "Jump Up" stuck in my head a lot btw.

"window seat" >>>>> "jump up in the air and stay there" - i really hope the album resembles the former more than the latter

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.

live on jimmy kimmel on march 30

I thought I saw March 3rd, as in tomorrow night!

Lol wait, Jimmy Fallon tomorrow night.

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.
