Erykah has a plan, she announced it last week. She is releasing media (songs, videos, images) via her twitter at 3:33pm or 3:33am (Time Zone TBD) from now until the release of New Amerykah Part Two: Return of The Ankh available everywhere on 3.30.2010 AD. This started last Friday with the official leak of "Jump Up In The Air and Stay There" feat. Lil Wayne and Bilal. Well according to E, the label got a bit excited with regards to leaking the first single, "Window Seat," which she intended to announce along with another video this coming Tuesday February 9th at 3:33am on erykahbadu.com, the same day it goes to radio. As we've seen time and time again, things don't always go as planned. Here is "Window Seat" produced by the Soulquarians (?uest on drums, James Poyser on keys) from Erykah's forthcoming New Amerykah Part Two: Return of The Ankh.
Erykah Badu "Window Seat"
Check erykahbadu.com on Tuesday February 9th for the video.
A bold move to drop a 7 minute instrumental to radio as a single. Badu is trying to change the game.
dope…long live quality music…
how is it that these people, being who they are, got together and recorded a 7-minute trance rave instrumental and decided that would be the lead single???
This isn’t Window seat even though it is interesting.
Here’s the real thing:

We had a little bit of an issue there, its been fixed.
MY BAD.
Dan
this is more like it.
i couldnt believe that other track could possibly be Soulquarians, especially with the programmed drums and whatnot hahahaha
yes badu redeems herself she almost fell off with that lil wayne shit that was totally whack and uncalled for i vote she scrap that song and do another one in its place with a doper emcee like elzhi on it
Don’w why cat’s are hating on the new Badu joint with Weezy I think just because it’s weezy the track is hot.
Thank you ms Badu keep doin you. but take that lil wayne shit out of here
@ cscott : lol this isn’t “window seat”!
Life just got a whole lot better….
“E BADU = MODERN DAY DAY ISIS”.-KiN CAMELL
just made my day! amazing song.
I love Mrs. E and this sounds like old vintage Badu but as much as I like it I was really wishing she would continue to push the boundaries like she did on New Amerykah Pt 1.
It’s still fresh to be able to hear fresh sounds from E. I was one of the few who actually was feeling “Jume Up In the Air and Stay There” because it was so fresh and a different approach. I hope there is some of that kind of progression on Pt 2.
Yes, Mrs apple tree
Ah, what a pleasant gift in the form of this song. I guess I will buy this from I tunes, because I be damn if I buy the CD with little Wayne on it.
better then the lil wayne crap she had earlier
Wonderful song! Simple but nice. I like.
this is the badu i’ve been missing
The Soulquarians finally return, thank you. That raw shit lives on. Smile Dilla, u felt brother.
Loving this–this gets me hype for the new disc
I love this, I can’t wait for more.
Badu back with vintage stuff – that is what we love!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Window seat” sounds like “Everything” cover of Misia, a colabo with Zap Mama from 2004 I think.
I love this.
ms. badu is a blessing to our ears…proud to be growing with her…YES!!!!
beautiful
Nice, but just sounds like Mama’s Gun with a few hints of Worldwide Underground.
it’s about time, Erykah….welcome back.
NICE,I’m feelin this!!!!

Thank you Badu
@Steel I agree..I love Pt 1 as well and I really like the fact that it was sooo diff than anything else…But this vintage Erykah and its cool..I didnt initially love Jump up in the air but it was def growing on me..To my understanding the last album was completely digital…

man the first time erykah step on the scene i knew she was going to be the underdog cause for real, real music don’t never go commercial the record companies are scared but they put that bull shit out and all the rap songs just remind you that your broke and they dumb rich and i do mean dumb literally. i like beyounce music but the chick then turn to soft porn. you do what you wanna do but don’t be a hypocrite. ms. badu got that true music for your soul, emotion, and mind. much love to her and THANK YOU ERYKAH!!!!!! this is a bomb song keep doing what you do.
I was waiting for the new music from Miss Badu too long… Love the new song and want more
miss e has delivered another GEM……….
WINDOW SEAT = LONG AWAITED, DALLAS NEEDS ANOTHER DOSE OF ERYKAH! AMAZING ALL STAR AND REDBULL SOUNDCLASH PREFORMANCES BTW!!
the soulfully elegant Erykah Badu has done it again…
Love it! Very Soulful as usual when your dealing with Erykah Badu… Love the Bass Line!
Why is this song so dope!? Erykah never fails me!

All Hail the Queen….
