Released in 2010, New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh serves as the soulful, emotional counterpart to 2008’s more politically charged New Amerykah Part One. With a warmer, more organic sound, Erykah Badu leans into themes of love, vulnerability, and inner turmoil, all wrapped in rich, analog textures and Dilla-esque grooves.

Unlike its predecessor’s experimental, collage-style production, this album returns to lush instrumentation and more melodic sensibilities. Tracks like “Window Seat” and “Gone Baby, Don’t Be Long” showcase Badu’s signature voice in a smoother, more introspective light, while songs like “Fall In Love (Your Funeral)” and “Out My Mind, Just In Time” highlight her emotional depth and poetic storytelling.

At once deeply personal and musically expansive, this album solidified Badu’s place as one of neo-soul’s most innovative and expressive artists.
