Badu’s Fifth Studio Album on Limited Edition Opaque Violet Double LP!
Part of the Limited Shades of Purple Vinyl Series.

Part of Erykah Badu’s limited purple vinyl series. For the first time on opaque violet vinyl, New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh) was originally released on March 30, 2010.

In 2010, Badu announced yet another new arrival: New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh. Whereas Part One was social and political in tone, Part Two taps into the more romantic and emotional side of Badu. “It reminds me of the days of Baduizm,” she says. “It’s just about beats and rhymes in a cipher.”

Indeed, diehard fans of Badu will love New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh and newcomers to Badu’s world will be curiously intrigued by the mystique and authenticity of an artist who is totally comfortable in her own skin. Whether directing a dope music video or exposing her vulnerabilities in rhyme, Badu transcends image. Just like the Santeria priest she met in Cuba, Badu no longer tries to be, she just is.
