On this song Erykah bares her heart and on the video she bares a little more than that creating lots of controversy… But we love that don't we? Come see what's all the fuzz about it…
The video: Window Seat. The album: NEW AMERYKAH Part 2 . She bares it all in the middle of a crowded street in Dallas' Dealey Plaza which you may know because that's where John F. Kennedy was assassinated. This fact brought bad feedback about the video but I think we should look further into what she really wanted to convey. On an interview with The Wall Street Journal she speaks of the meaning of her actions… she says she wanted to express the act of liberating ourselves from what she calls "group-think" which in her opinion is killing individualism. She says "In the video I shed a lot of emotion, a lot of baggage by way of shedding clothing" and this certainly grabbed everybody's attention. If this has triggered your curiosity and you want to see the video, then head over to her website. unfortunately the laws and regulations of the youtube kingdom aren't lettting it stream.You will be able to see Erykah Badu performing in August for the Lilith Fair which will gather many more female artists that you wouldn't want to miss and we will keep you updated on it.
