And here she goes again posting at 3:33...
I just came back from the Erykah Badu site and this time at 3:33am she compiled a short mix of media clips to formulate a message I could only come close to fully understanding if I were Badu.
From the few glimpses that I caught chopped clips from The History Channel, Obama speeches and the Olympics were just a few that were intertwined to formulate an obscure theme that provoked visuals through a unique lens. All were powerful images of some sort channeling issues and themes in the current media. Clips were dished out and exchanged throughout the video so quickly that when the clips calmed down, the video cut and transformed into a hand puppet show shown only to end the visuals all so suddenly. While seconds after this mini video is shown the "Jump In the Air" kaleidoscope video reappears.
Didn't get that? Keep up. This is the kind of material I've been watching every day at 3:33.
"As promised, Erykah Badu is sticking to the script and releasing new content at 3:33 (from various time zones) from now until the release of New Amerykah Part Two: Return of The Ankh, which will be out 3.30.2010 AD. For today's leak, we enter the Erykahlidoscope with the full version of her self-directed video "Jump Up In The Air and Stay There" featuring Bilal and Lil Wayne. Erykah has confirmed that the song does indeed have 9 other versions with 9 different emcees." (Read more on Okayplayer)
All of Badu's postings have got me highly anticipating this upcoming album. Badu never fails to amuse me. There's no doubt she is the true guru of creativity - always progressing, always moving forward with her projects, always giving us fans never what we expect and always providing us with material only Badu can dream up to create.
