New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh)

New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh) is the fifth studio album by American recording artist Erykah Badu, first released on March 30, 2010, through Control Freaq and Universal Motown. Collaborating with several hip hop producers over the Internet, Badu conceived 75 songs set to be split over three albums with New Amerykah Part One (4th World War) (2008) being the first. The album was recorded primarily at Electric Lady Studios in New York City. Contrasting its socially themed and complex predecessor, New Amerykah Part Two contains a prominently groove-based, analog sound.
