I called it ‘Part II: The Return of the Ankh’ because this album is the sister of the left side of my brain – it is the right side.’Part I was the left side of my thoughts – it was more socially political and my thought process was more analytical. In the same interview, she explained the album’s title, stating: There’s a strong undercurrent of bottom, a rumbling to these songs that feels good to me. In an interview for Billboard, Badu explained that “We used a lot of analog instruments-harps, strings, drums, piano, and even a Theremin-to give the album that sonic feel. She told Rolling Stone that she recorded her vocals for the song “Window Seat” in her shower, stating “I wanted to sound like I was in a tunnel. Recording during 2006 to 2009, a portion of the album was recorded at New York City’s Electric Lady Studios. Badu has described its sound as “very analog”.

A lesson i’m still learning.In contrast to its predecessor New Amerykah Part One (4th World War) (2008), which was digitally produced and political in tone, New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh) incorporates sampling and live instrumentation, while its more personal lyrics focus on themes of romance and relationships. To me that’s the hardest type of patience you can have. Gone Baby, Don’t Be Long Ī song of missing the one you love and doing anything to have them by your side at this moment even though you know there is nothing you can do but be patient. Basically a story of trying to get over someone while another one wants you at the same time…and succeeding. Out of My Mind, Just In Time Īre you a recovering undercover over-lover? Then this song is for you. Again, amazing vocals with an amazing message combines to make this a great love song.Ĥ.

“You don’t want to fall in love with me” The repeated chorus tells of someone not wanting to be the object of someone elses desire because they feel they aren’t good enough. Some may argue if this is truly a love song and everyone is entitled to their opinion but to me this song is about two of the basic human emotions…fear and love.

From listening to his song, i can tell Erykah has been through it at least once or twice. Ever vow to never fall in love again after having your heartbroken? I certainly have and in that moment of despair someone seems to walk in and change your heart completely. An ode to unannounced love, this song rings true. To me it’s a song of shy yet undeniable love, from the soothing guitar to the simple yet beautiful lyrics, this song remains one that will forever touch my heart.Ĭertainly was not looking for a love affair until i stumbled upon this song. Hands down one of the best love songs ever written and recorded.
