Just in Time

Every few months I get a new CD that I play everyday... all day!

I have been a fan of Erykah Badu since the first time I heard On & On from her first album Baduizm and she has not disappointed. Each album she releases reminds you why you are a fan and gives you a little more of Badu.

New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh) has become the soundtrack to my life as I travel though the hot beginning of summer.

Like you I was introduced to the album by all of the controversy surrounding the Window Seat video. And when the song hit the air ways, it spoke to me... Facing a lot I desperately wanted a ticket out of town...

But with each rotation of the CD in my stereo or touch selection on my ipod, I found other sounds to connect with... And if I had to pick a favorite song, Out my Mind, Just in Time is it. It reminds me of Green Eyes from Mama's Gun. It is that song you don't want to end, changing seamlessly but holding a common thread in theme.

Sadly, I must say that I have never seen her in concert... but after this album, I'm on a mission to change that!
