Return of the Ankh

Erykah Badu's latest album, New Amerykah part two: Return of the Ankh, dropped on Tuesday, and boy is it great! I've had it on repeat for the last three days. It is super groovy, funky, and fun; a welcome departure from her challenging 2008 release New Amerykah part one: 4th World War.

Return of the Ankh is joyful in sound, but perhaps at times a little woebegone in lyrical content. The feeling I come away with after listening to the smooth and bouncy songs is that of optimism, as if Badu has been through a dark patch and is finally overcoming that weight, remembering what it's like to feel whole again.

Perhaps I'm reading into it all wrong, but I'm sure of one thing: This is one hell of a record. Personal favorites from Return of the Ankh are Turn Me Away (Get MuNNY), Love, and Window Seat.



Song of the Day: Hurry On Now, Alice Russel - I also purchased Pot of Gold by Alice Russel on my visit to the record store. This song is what turned me onto her music. So great.
