Double Disk

Erykah Badu revealed that her new album is to be titled Nu AmErykah. The set is due Feb. 26 via Universal Motown. In response to the prior provisional title, Kabbah, Badu says that that name was never final and that she prefers to wait and title her albums once they’re finished.
“I named this album Nu AmErykah because I’m dealing with whatever is to come instead of what was,” said Badu, decked out in jeans, a red kimono and her trademark afro. “In taking on a project like this, I’m taking the responsibility to talk for my race and my planet. I’m sure the record company will make their money and they’ve given me the blessing of time.”
Badu’s last studio album, 2003’s Worldwide Underground was a great effort with little promotion, because Erykah’d just had a baby. However, with Nu AmErykah, she plans to make up for lost time. The double-disc album will include 18 tracks, including the new single “Honey,” produced by 9th Wonder and the follow-up ’70’s soul-inspired single, “Soldier 7.”
