The "Queen of Neo Soul" and long time natural hair beauty Erykah Badu released her newest album today entitled "New Amerykah Part Two: Return Of The Ankh."
I'm sure you've already "heard" but to market her newest single "Window Seat," she shot a one-take video in Dallas, Texas using just a digital camera where she strips down to her birthday suit to reenact the assassination of President Kennedy.
I was personally nervous when I first watched the video--with the sound off. I kept wondering "Is this staged? Or are these really unsuspecting people? Why does she look nervous?" And as the video played, more and more people appeared--including children. She kept taking the clothes off layer by layer. I thought she'd stop somewhere but she kept going. There were points in the video where it looked like she was kinda pausing when she saw a kid so I didn't think she'd really strip down completely like everyone said she supposedly did in--but she did! I honestly didn't know what to think! I was more concerned for the kids and the parents of those kids seeing some strange lady walking around stripping. I couldn't explain what had gotten into this 'woman.' Then, I watched the video with the sound on and got a completely different experience. I then learned that it was about the Kennedy assassination. But still, what do you all think about it?
Erykah Badu is constantly evolving and is a living work of art. While other artists fizzle away, I continue to be truly amazed at her constant transformations. Stay connected with her at http://www.erykahbadu.com!
