DREA & SAM
Honestly, we're just two girls a long way from home trying to get by with a little help from our friends and this blog apparently. Sam, SPARKY, is in Bloomingtom, Indiana for 10 months of the year and Drea, IGOTNOTHING, is in Boston, Mass. for those 10 months but every so often, they find themselves "comfortably" at home in Los Angeles, Ca. We're pretty cool, no lie.

Erykah Badu strips down for her video “Window Seat”, which premiered on her site (http://erykahbadu.com) on Saturday in downtown Dallas. With an ode to the Kennedy Assassination, Badu parks her car and walks through Dallas removing an article of clothing every few seconds. When she is completely nude, she is shot in the head and the word “groupthink” bleeds out of her gun wound.

After the premiere of her video, Badu went on a tweeting frenzy asking her followers to define groupthink welcoming both criticism and support. With the strong message that individuality is assassinated among our society, Badu hits hard with her demonstration of courage. She got up and “ran like hell,” she said via Twitter. Music is a powerful communicator, but so often, the communication is one-way. Badu is using music to not only send a message but to have a conversation.

With lyrics like “I just want a chance to fly/a chance to cry/ and a long bye bye/ but I need you to miss me” she expresses the fight between striving for individuality and wanting to be accepted. Though the song is powerful itself, the video doesn’t highlight the song as in most music videos. Instead the song sits in the background playing the part of a soundtrack. Promoting self love, Badu released the video only 3 days before the album release leaving me anxiously ready for my next course in “Baduizm.” New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh) drops Tuesday.
