EVOLVING
Erykah Badu, often considered the “Queen of Neo Soul“, is an American artist, producer and actress known for her jazz-infused blend of hip hop and R&B. Although adored for her flamboyant style and fashion sensibilities, here she strips bare in a one-take track shot for the new single ‘Window Seat’, which is featured in her upcoming album – her fifth, due out March 30th - New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh). On her twitter she commented, “[S]hot guerilla style, no crew, one take, no closed set, no warning, two minutes, in downtown Dallas, then ran like hell… I was afraid. But I was ready.” Also an activist, Badu is condemning modern conformity in all its ugliness and the repression of true individuality. I’m diggin’ the 60s acid culture-inspired swirly hues toward the end…kinda ‘sposed to be her residual self-expression i think. Also like the idea of ‘evolving’ as a sort of unclothing. nude counterculture anybody? hit up this track and you won’t need one.
