Plug and Play in Japan

New music for the new year. This is something I’m working on called “Plug and Play in Japan.” It’s a work in progress-a sketch. Bringing people in at this stage is something new for me. But I thought it might be nice to share my process with you guys. Creating in the moment. Tell me what you think.

E. Badu is so important. I feel blessed to be here with her in this same lifetime.💙

Word🙌🏾

[@LailahLynnTV]

I will always love this woman’s voice 💕

[@PoeticHeart]

Her voice is awesome, but her style is on another level. I had to jam her music to find out who she is and where she comes from. At 14 I saw her perform on a talk show and she stole my heart.

[@aysitumari1064]

💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙✅😁

[@clarabellaryan6]

How is it possible to feel like you are in the room experiencing this moment over the internet. This woman is such a gift to this world...so lucky to experience her beautiful music even if it is just online. Pure heart and talent like no other 🌙⭐

[@ggmag7]

Please put it on your bucket list to see her live someday. You will never be the same. I promise.

[@vewaproductionsltdvewa6994]

Love the sound of the melody Vocals/Piano and appreciate the changes. 💖

[@og_misty]

It’s kinda lonely out here, riding with the band... 🖤🎶 I always end up coming back to this video. The melody is sweetness in itself

[@OGNICKMARSH]

This already sounds beautiful. Can't wait to hear the final version

[@theOstenHugo]

i think it’s important for Erykah to resurface in the music world rn with so many wack artists around we need her real sounds.

[@UniversalCode9]

[@GLesbihonest]
