Erykah Badu forgets about the Ankh

674

So, as always, Erykah Badu fans have been promised a bunch of release dates and none of them gave us the second installment of her New Amerykah series. Now New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh) looks like it will never see a release date. And as if all the ganja in the world wasn’t enough for her to laze-off this album, she has now become a very intermitting, yet chatty Twitter user. Yes, she’s all kinds of crazy on there. Kind of like a cross between Courtney Love and Tila Tequila. Erykah badu had better release some new music now or her fans will just give up. Or, at least, don’t be dropping some release dates like “August 18th” when you know you are a slacker.

She became popular because her single “Silly Boy” was pushed around the blogosphere as the new Lady Gaga and Rihanna collaboration directed at Chris Brown, even if there was one vocalist on the track. Then the video came out and everyone knew the song but  not the singer. It’s Eva Simons. She won some dutch reality show and now she wants to get some of the GaGa-ness. It’s a weak track. The look is emulated-fabulousness. She might make some waves but she needs a stronger single.

Yes, when you thought that Lady Gaga was singing “On red wine…” she was actually saying “RedOne.” Really, who goes clubbing to “Just Dance” on red wine? Anyway, it’s fun and all kinds of poppy. Not their best effort, to say the least. Click below for the song.

Picture 1As we approach our one year anniversary we get another nod from WordPress to close off a marvelous year of blogging. WordPress put up on of our posts on second place on the front page titled “Freshly Pressed.” This comes as a surprise because the post was an impromptu thing and didn’t have much text. But, the video was enough for words. Anyway, we are looking forward to the anniversary of the blog and we will give you the lowdown once we complete a year of existence.

Erik Hassle covers La Roux

One of our favorites has covered a song from another of our favorites. Erik Hassle, who is amidst his campaign promoting Pieces, has covered 2009′s it-band La Roux’s second single “In For The Kill.” This is an marvelous acoustic version. He should record it and make it a B-side on one of his singles.
