New AmErykah, Part Two (Return of the Ankh) will hit stores late this year. The lead single, "Jump Up In The Air... Stay There" will hit radio in the next couple of weeks. I can't wait. 4th World War might be my favorite album this year.

Actually I made it for both parts, hence the '1' and '2' in the title, but whatever it's no big deal.

Is she really working with Lil Wayne? I heard some rumors regarding this recently.

Finally. I was afraid she might have scrapped the project. Can't wait to hear the new single!

She worked with Lil Wayne on a track for Part Two. Problem is, though, that "Jump up in the Air" isn't listed as going for adds anymore on All Access. I won't be surprised if we get the album in early 2009... And I already can't wait... On a cool note, Erykah's videos are up for free download (in iPod format): erykah-badu.com/media/ipod-videos.html

I just used this thread since it was the first one i found when looking for the Erykah thread. she posted a new blog today on her myspace. she's still working on New Amerykah part two and has plans on releasing two videos still from part one. most likely for The Healer & Soldier. making videos for any songs on part one seems pretty pointless at this point. still, they're great songs and it'll be nice to have them anyway her blog post: subject: it's twenty 0 9 a.d. body: ... any day now my new project arrives . nope - not new amerykah pt 2 but new baby !! (shout out to mothers to be ) i can hardly move my hips are sooo stiff ...( i look like a duck w/ long legs) meanwhile im still working away on pt 2 . ( mind blowin) later than i anticipated , however , but frsh all the same . these days i live in headphones while poppin b vitamins and rubbing my belly down with shae butter ( plump and ripe) . im a damned perfectionist and my method is kinda weird s0 the lable just throws their hands up at me and banks on somethin else lol. ( peace to sylvia rhone ). so any way , im back in the badudio , ill pause for my home birth which is just in the next room so i promise it wont take too long . lol. (valerian and chamomile are my best friends ) been spending my days on twitter throwing out random thoughts as FATBELLYBELLA. plenty of twitty milk to go round ... i give thanks today for your love , energy , respect and feedback . on behalf of my entire family from Edith funker , nedda stella ( band), soul quarians ,jay tronic, controlfreaq records , canabinoids, b.l.i.n.d. , THE scientists ,and of course NAYROCK "HAPPY NEW YOU ." IF YOU BELIEVE IT IT'S YOURS . TRUST . all my love , ebi breezy aka fat belly bella aka loretta brown aka analogue girl aka annie aka manuela mexico aka baduizm pka e. badu..... love and light !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! p.s. im gone still do 2 mo videos for pt 1 which 2 should they be ? i was thinkin the healer and souldier...eh.

So excited for Pt. 2 but I'm glad Pt. 1 isn't completely dead yet. Soldier has had a treatment since the album dropped so I'm sure she will push ahead with that one. As for the other video, I'd love a clip for Me or That Hump (extreme wishful thinking for the latter, I know).

Part One has sold 341,349 copies so far. She'll get dropped before she's ready to release Part Two...

Part One has sold 341,349 copies so far. She'll get dropped before she's ready to release Part Two... Her sales have slowly diminished since Baduizm, but not really at an alarming rate. 3 plat, 2 plat, 1 plat, 600k, 350k. And it's not like she's very prolific, so it's more a sign of the times. If she were dropped, I'm sure an indie would pick her up. Her music is nowhere near mainstream anyway.

I do not think she will get dropped. Erykah Badu has too much of a following; albeit underground/cult-like. Nevertheless, she has enough momentum behind her to sustain her. Without a notable hit single, 350k is not bad at all.

Without a notable hit single, 350k is not bad at all. Precisely. She sold 350k off the strength of one single. Had her pregnancy not interrupted her promotional plans, we would've had our 2 other videos by now and she would've been well past Gold. Erykah will be just fine.

The fact that Motown even lets her put out albums like Worldwide Underground and New AmErykah lead me to believe that they're not exactly expecting multiplatinum sales from her. Not to mention, it's not like Motown has a roster of multiplatinum selling artists at the moment anyway.

^^ Right on! It's not about sales with Erykah. She has a secure place in her own right.

Erykah gave constant Twitter updates from the moment she went into labor until the moment she got home with the child. Only Erykah! She said the baby's name is Twitty Milk. ONLY ERYKAH!
