Released on Motown in 2010, the album serves as the softer, more introspective counterpart to โPart One (4th World War)โ. While its predecessor was politically charged and sonically dense, โReturn of the Ankhโ flows with water-like sensuality, guided by themes of love, memory, and spiritual release.
Built around analog textures, vintage soul samples, and live instrumentation, it features production from Badu herself alongside Madlib, Questlove, J Dilla, James Poyser, and Karriem Riggins. Songs like "Window Seat," "Gone Baby, Donโt Be Long," and "Out My Mind, Just in Time" weave between intimacy and transcendence, balancing vulnerability with Baduโs trademark cool mysticism.
โNew Amerykah Part Twoโ remains one of her most beloved works โ a lush, fluid exploration of emotion and groove that reaffirms Erykah Baduโs position as one of contemporary soulโs most visionary and uncompromising voices.
