Wait I thought her very first single, "On & On" was a big pop hit as well? Plus, what was up with ILM and hating R&B/pop artist back in the early 2000s? I read old threads and people were just blindly hateful. Now that hatred is directed towards "indie" bands now.

this is awesome
After that, Curtis goes, ‘Did you study the song?’ I’m like, ‘No…I didn’t study…I was just going to feel it.’ And that wasn’t the answer he wanted to hear. As a matter of fact, that session created the line when I said on New Amerykah 2, ‘Do you have that number to that other bass player?’ Well, Curtis Mayfield said that to someone in the session while the bass player was actually there! Everybody in the studio was quiet. Curtis Mayfield demanded excellence.”

don't like whatever they do to her voice on that track, too metallic sounding.

Annie (Don't Wear No Panties) is apparently no longer part of New Amerykah Part 3, but instead a song by a supergroup called Edith Funker, consisting of ?uestlove, Erykah, Wendy & Lisa and some other folk. Recorded version is pretty neat.
― Alex in Montreal, Wednesday, 23 February 2011 08:49 (fifteen years ago)
AWESOME, have been wanting this song to emerge for a while
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 23 February 2011 09:28 (fifteen years ago)
Apparently it emerged almost a year ago and we all missed it?
― Alex in Montreal, Wednesday, 23 February 2011 09:57 (fifteen years ago)
i know right i just saw the date on that blog post! how is it possible to have missed something like this.
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 23 February 2011 10:03 (fifteen years ago)
Again. I feel the need to stress.
James Poyser, Erykah + ?uest = part of the best neo-soul funk line up ever (minus Bilal and D'Angelo).Wendy & Lisa (responsible for substantial amounts of classic-era prince?)

Totally missed that there was a studio version of this! I feel like I've been deprived.

― lex pretend, Thursday, 31 March 2011 08:16 (fifteen years ago)
as the support act surely she can't be 2 hours late as usual though. surely
does anyone know if there is to be a full length Edith Funker release,as that track really hits my current pleasure spots.
― mark e, Thursday, 31 March 2011 09:15 (fifteen years ago)
"as the support act surely she can't be 2 hours late as usual though. surely"um, you're talking about erykah BADU right? She gets going when she wants to get going.

― banjee trillness (The Reverend), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 21:57 (fifteen years ago)
maybe this will put a little funk back in flylo's beats...have to say that even though he's stepped up the melody and orchestration etc., the beats on the last couple records have felt really jerky and mechanical (in a different way than los angeles, where all the looseness and unquantized percussion made the groove deeper).
