i love how she hiccups "buh-by" -- also how she abruptly ends the sentence "if anyone speak to scotty, tell em beam me up"

on first listen, its a fucking awesome record. the closing epic is, in the best way, green eyes pt 2.

somehow that cover is not that surprising

Surprising, no. Overwhelmingly awesome, yes, definitely.

also, window seat isnt at all bad, but it does sound like she can barely be bothered with it. i get the impression she doesnt mind too much which seat she gets.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Wednesday, 17 March 2010 18:12 (fourteen years ago) link
eh no, she's not disinterested she's disillusioned imo

badu came to london today to play the record to reviewers.
― aw beat de holy jasus.. (stevie), Wednesday, 17 March 2010 18:16 (fourteen years ago) link
gotta second stevie. album is amazing, she is a genius &c &c. my notes for one song just say "couldn't write anything, song too gorgeous".
she wore some very strange baby blue capri pants, stiletto boots which looked like doc martens and a top hat, btw.
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Wednesday, 17 March 2010 18:42 (fourteen years ago) link
also, when asked when the thing would be released, she looked genuinely baffled and said something like, "i don't know, don't y'all have the internet now?"

peeps that have heard it:
i have only heard the song on that's on her home page and "window seat"
i think they are good, but i really dug the awesome, weird messed up p-funk meets dilla type more hard hitting groove songs on the first new amerykah
are there more uptempo or midtempo ones? cuz the two i've heard are good but definitely meeeeelllooooow
― snorgfaced germans (M@tt He1ges0n), Friday, 19 March 2010 16:24 (fourteen years ago) link
its a pretty mellow set, all told. she said that this is her left-side-of-brain album, more emotional, less political. its no less awesome though.
― Wat ho, goatee'd man? Thy skinnee jenes hath byrn'd my corneyas. (stevie), Friday, 19 March 2010 16:25 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm putting myself in the mindset that I can enjoy this album a lot even if it doesn't come with the raw like "The Cell" or "Twinkle."

m@tt you shld also listen to 'jump up in the air (stay there)'
― just sayin, Friday, 19 March 2010 16:39 (fourteen years ago) link
sounds like it's gonna be a lot like 'mama's gun' which is great for me, bcz mama's gun is one of my favourite albums...
this:
reminds me a LOT of why I fell in love with 'Mama's Gun' to begin with.
