Erykah’s fourth full-length looks promising. After eight years of musical silence, New Amerykah will be the title and features a wide range of producers like Madlib, 9th Wonder and J Dilla.
I’m feeling it. The cover art looks great and her first single, Honey, is a soulful funky 9th Wonder beat overlayed with Badu’s sweet and eccentric voice, breathing on top of it.
The music video for Honey is funny, refreshing and original (apparently K-Os had that idea first, cool video btw).

Gorgeous animation and subtle progression make this video pure bliss. New LP, Fountain Fountain Joyous Mountain, out now.
Keep Shelly In Athens is definitely one to watch out for. Just watch this video, wait for the synth to drop and be amazed.
Jon Hopkins’ take on Us, featured on Drift Remixed, is a lot more aggressive. The video flows through the slaughter, preparation and devouring of a meal as its high point. The cleaning in heavenly light as its downfall. Great concept as the video perfectly aligns with the ambiance of the song.

Massive Attack videos are exactly like their music. Dark, uncompromising in style with attitude and a slightly offset integrity. Serves as a prequel to the marvelous “Splitting the Atom” video.
The documentary felt a little monotonous , the cut and paste style could be more refined. I missed some sort of moral, but the mockumentary in itself was pretty fun.
Super intense melodramatic film making by one of my favs. It’s a scary nightmare condensed in one epic tale.
It’s too much of a kids film for me to enjoy, but the animation and cinematography looks gorgeous which makes up for a lot.
