New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh) received widespread critical acclaim from critics, who commended its soulful sound and loose structure, and viewed it as more accessible than that of its predecessor. The production for the album was handled by several of Badu's previous collaborators, including J Dilla, Questlove, James Poyser, Madlib, 9th Wonder, Sa-Ra, Georgia Anne Muldrow, and Karriem Riggins, along with appearances from Lil Wayne, Bilal, and harpist Kirsten Agresta. The album incorporates sampling and live instrumentation, while its more personal lyrics focus on themes of romance and relationships. The album was recorded primarily at Electric Lady Studios in New York City.Ĭontrasting its socially themed and complex predecessor, New Amerykah Part Two contains a prominently groove-based, analog sound.
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.
