She’s so out there, she’s in there.

Erykah Badu has finally given us a new album, only her third full LP of new music in, oh, eleven years.

Now she says she’s learned to use iChat and Garage Band, so she’s got two, maybe three more albums coming this year. “New AmErykah, Pt. 2” in the Spring. Then her alterego “Lowdown Loretta Brown” in the Fall. And then she’s got her new supergroup with Ahmir & Mike Elizondo, “Edith Funker.”

EDITH FUNKER!

She may be the world’s biggest tease, that Erykah, but she sure is funny.

Peep the video and my review in the Washington Post.
