The album's done. All they need to do is settle on the single - Window Seat is what I'm hearing - and it will be good to go. Erykah's never been one to precede an album with a lot of fanfare and a single sit at radio for weeks in advance. Plus, she's adamant about records not leaking so I think it's gonna come out on time this time.

Besides, it's not as though they have to deliberate heavily on the single choice like a more mainstream artist would. Pretty much anything Erykah puts out will get her a hit on Urban AC and a minor hit on Urban, with the other formats pretty much ignoring her (unless something on the level of "Believe" happens); that's how it's been for a while.

I like what I am hearing about the CD so far. I was just complaining about her taking forever to followup Part II, but it is good to hear that she has been working diligently on it. If the single is right, she could get some love from Urban stations as well as Urban AC.

I see what you mean when you say she doesn't need a big single and massive promo, but it just seems odd to me that they're sending a single out after Xmas when there are just like six weeks before the album's release. After all, "Honey" had been out for three months before Part One was released, so I can see this being delayed for a month or so.

Erykah Badu Pushes 'New Amerykah' To Marchby Mariel Concepcion, N.Y. Originally due Feb. 23, Erykah Badu's fifth studio album, "New Amerykah, Part II: Return of the Ankh," has now been pushed to March 30, the singer/songwriter announced via Twitter today (Jan. 21). "Return of the Ankh," which will be released through Universal Motown, features production from 9th Wonder, James Poyser, J Dilla and Madlib, among others. Bilal and Lil Wayne appear on the bonus web-only track, "Jump In The Air," which was scrapped from the physical tracklist after parts of it leaked on the internet in December. Other songs on the 11-track album include "20 Feet Tall;" "Window Seat;" "Agitation;" "Get Money;" "Out of My Mind Just In Time" Part I and Part II, among others. "I called it 'Part II: The Return of the Ankh' because this album is the sister of the left side of my brain -- it is the right side," Badu explained during a listening session in New York last month. "'Part I' was the left side of my thoughts -- it was more socially political and my thought process was more analytical. This time there wasn't anything to be concerned with -- the album is more emotional and flowy and talks about feelings. It reminds of the days of 'Baduizm' -- this is just about beats and rhymes in a cipher." Here is the full tracklist of "New Amerykah, Part II: Return of the Ankh": 1. "20 Feet Tall" Produced by Erykah Badu and 9th Wonder. 2. "Window Seat" Produced by Erykah Badu and James Poyser. Featuring Ahmir "?uestove" Thompson (drums), Stephen "Thundercat" Bruner (bass), James Poyser (keys), Kirsten Agnesta (harp). 3. "Agitation" Produced by Erykah Badu and Shafiq Husayn of SA-RA Creative Partners. 4. "Get Money" Produced by Erykah Badu and Karieem Riggins (drums), Stephen 
 "Thundercat" Bruner (bass), James Poyser (keys), Tommy Trajlio (guitar), Mike "Chav" Chavarria (mooger fooger). Contains an interpolation of "Can't Turn Me Away," by Sylvia Strippling. 5. "Don't Be Long" Produced by Erykah Badu and Taarak. 6. "Love" Produced by Erykah Badu and J Dilla. 7. "Umm Hmm" Produced by Erykah Badu and Madlib. 8. "Fall in Love" Produced by Erykah Badu and Karieem Riggins. Contains a sample of "Intimate Friends" by Eddie Kendricks. 9. "Incense" (Instrumental) Produced by Erykah Badu and Madlib featuring Kirsten Agnesta (harp). 10. "Out My Mind Just in Time (Part 1) (Undercover Over-Lover)" Produced by Erykah Badu featuring James Poyser (keys). 11. "Out My Mind Just in Time (Part 2)" Produced by Erykah Badu and Georgia Ann Muldrow. (Bonus Web-Only Track: "Jump In The Air," featuring Lil Wayne and Bilal, Produced by Erykah Badu, RC Williams and Jahborn. Contains an interpolation of "Hydraulic Pump" by Parliament Funkadelic.) www.billboard.com/news/erykah-badu-pushes-new-amerykah-to-march-1004060980.story#/news/erykah-badu-pushes-new-amerykah-to-march-1004060980.story-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sylvia Strippling?

so is "Jump In The Ayer" a promo single? "Web-only single". It was gonna be the lead but once it leaked on YouTube in December, Erykah scrapped it from the album. I don't think it would've fit in with the overall sound of it any way.

I guess you meant Jimmy Fallon, lol. Anyway, here's the performance:
This was great. The Roots and Erykah should play together more often. I also thought her singing the 227 theme was cute.
