Badu Starts 'Nu' On Double-Disc Album
http://0rz.tw/533nu
Erykah Badu revealed the new title of her fourth album, "Nu AmErykah," to a
small room of fans in New York's Electric Lady studios last Thursday (Dec. 6).
The set is due Feb. 26 via Universal Motown.
In reference to the prior provisional title, "Kabbah," Badu says that that
name was never final and that she prefers to wait and title her albums once
they're finished.
"I named this album 'Nu AmErykah' because I'm dealing with whatever is to come
instead of what was," said Badu, decked out in jeans, a red kimono and her
trademark afro. "In taking on a project like this, I'm taking the
responsibility to talk for my race and my planet. I'm sure the record company
will make their money and they've given me the blessing of time."
Badu's last EP, "Worldwide Underground," arrived in 2003 without much fanfare,
but it still sold 609,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen
SoundScan. "I didn't feel like doing the whole promotional circuit for that
record," she admitted. "I'd just had a baby."
Making up for lost time, "Nu AmErykah" includes 18 songs that will be spread
over two separately sold discs. The first single, "Honey," was produced by 9th
Wonder and the '70s soul-tinged "Soldier 7" may be the follow-up track.
Here is the track list for "Nu AmErykah":
"American Promise"
"The Healer"
"Me"
"My People"
"Speech"
"Soldier 7"
"The Cell"
"Twinkle"
"Love Me"
