Erykah Badu – “Window Seat” (MP3)

Here’s one that’s surely gonna be a treat.

“Window Seat” is the essence of classic and fundamental Badu. The official first single from New Amerykah, Part II: Return of the Ankh is velvety and melodic, perfectly framing Erykah’s timeless vocals, nodding to past projects such as Mama’s Gun, and blending it all together to produce a sound that’s both fresh and organic. Lavish in its soulful glory, its live instrumentation is lush and possesses musical qualities that will not only touch spirits, but have them grooving as well. Can I also get a window seat?
