Erykah Badu - New Amerykah Part II: Return Of The Ankh
Music Release
Simon Winkler
Erykah Badu's fifth studio album is a seductive, soulful affair, filled with hip hop grooves and Rnb funk beats alongside Erykah's own lyrical poetry. The companion album to the more politicised 'New Amerykah Part I: 4th World Order', 'Part II:Return of the Ankh' is a decidedly more emotive, and organic sounding record, though no less inventive or dynamic. Like the earlier instalment, Part II also featuresmasterful contributions from Madlib, James Poyser, 9th Wonder, Georgia Anne Muldrow and the late J Dilla.
