After almost five years and the birth of her daughter, Puma, R&B/Soul superstar Erykah Badu has announced the release of a new double CD, hitting stores Feb. 2008. The new album âNu AmErykah,â which is the follow-up to Baduâs 2003 âWorldwide Underground,â is lead by the new single âHoney,â produced by 9th Wonder.
It has been rumored that âNu AmErykahâ will be followed with another album six months after itâs release.
"I named this album 'Nu AmErykah' because I'm dealing with whatever is to come instead of what was," Badu tells Billboard.com. "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."
"Nu AmErykah" features 18 songs on two discs.
"We've waited almost 10 years for this album to come," said Universal executive vice president and Motown president Sylvia Rhone. "She inspires, sets trends and does music that no one's done before. Male, female, black [and] white can listen to her and come away with something."
