Erykah Badu - New Amerykah, Part 2

Erykah badu is getting ready to release her sixth studio album, titled "New Amerykah, Part 2 (Return of the Ankh). This is the second pard of last year's "New Amerykah, Part 1 (4th World War).

Named after the Egyptian hieroglyphic character meaning "eternal life," Ankh is more spiritual and emotional than its predecessor. "Part 2 would be the other group of songs which are more right brained and emotional if you will," says Erykah Badu. "They fit together like a puzzle sonically, how they sound, how they feel."

As soon as there will be a release date for the album, it will be published on Music2Nite. In the meantime, check out one of Erykah's live performances at any of these upcomining venues:
