DOWNLOAD Erykah Badu, The Healer MP3

Miss Badu has joined forces with famed producer Madlib on the The Healer mp3 off of her upcoming album New AmErykah. The song lulls and rocks with a funky boom-clap that evokes the late great J-Dilla. Some will undoubtedly not get it on a first listen, but it’s the type of tune that is so groundbreaking it will grow on you like a fine wine.

The CD The Healer is off also might be bewildering at first because there is simply nothing else out there that sounds like it, but it is one that with time most will go, "Oh, now I get it!" while others never will. I see this making many end of year best album lists, as well as Ms Badu making some more room in her Grammy cabinet.
