It looks like anything Adele can do, Erykah Badu can do better. Weeks after the British powerhouse made her sensational comeback with her emotional ballad, Hello, the neo soul songstress has released her own telephone-based track.
Ahead of the release of her highly anticipated mixtape, But You Caint Use My Phone, the 44-year-old has treated fans to a teaser in the form of her single Hello, which features a verse from her former lover and Andre 3000, the father of her first child.
Andre 3000, real name André Benjamin, raps the lines: "Have your phone unlocked and right side up/ Walk out the room without throwin' your bitch off balance/ It's either on or off, ain't no in between when it's valid."While Adele's Hello sees the devastated singer calling her younger self to talk about the mistakes she made, Badu's track is about the lack of communication and trust in relationships, and samples the Isley Brothers's record, Hello It's Me.
But You Caint Use My Phone, which features songs including Hotline (Remix) and Phone Down, is set for general release on 4 December. Until then, it is available exclusively on iTunes and then on Apple Music.
