04 Apr Album Review: Erykah Badu – Nu Amerykah Pt. 2: Return Of The Ankh

There are just certain artists that evoke a special feeling from fans and fellow musicians alike.  An artist that, no matter the battle plan, you'd still opt to musically walk into war with them blindfolded.  It's a trust that very few artists are able to get from their fanbase - but somehow Erykah Badu has been able to hypnotize me (and a gang of others) into being willing to do this since she stepped on the scene in 1997. The evolution of Erykah is a type of transformation that's rarely seen, at least in this modern generation.  She has the ability to adjust and shed certain skins similar to jazz artists of yesteryear and has a way of convincing her audience that they need to change with her too.
