Erykah Badu feat. Questlove – Window Seat

The official single off of her upcoming fifth studio LP “New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh)” – throws us back to Erykah Badu’s neo-soul roots. With Quest Love himself gracing the drums, this laid-back jam serves her fans with the very same formula that first made her famous. The track was co-produced by herself and James Poyser. “New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh)” is set for a release March 30th.
