There aren't many people around who don't have some love for Erykah Badu. In fact, the only people I can think of are either crazy or enjoy the likes of Matchbox Twenty. (But then, if you enjoy Matchbox Twenty's oh-so-special brand of easy rock for the heartbroken teen and "hip" mum; you probably are borderline crazy anyway). So, Ms Badu is releasing a new album, and we have the lead single 'Honey' for you.
Spot all the little shout-outs to musicians in the video, there's Grace Jones, Nas, De La Soul and lots more. There's even a take on ex-partner Andre 3000's massive 'Hey Ya!' And Badu also takes the whole
Sleeveface thing, rips it up, de-geekafies it, and makes it all her own.
Also the last image in the attached gallery is the just-released artwork for Badu's new album. Check out all the stuff living in Ms Badu's hair.
Welcome back Ms Badu.
