It’s undeniable … the free-spirited queen of NeoSoul, Erykah Badu is a brilliant wordsmith. Whether or not she represents your personal life philosophies or your preferred music genre, there’s something to be said for her fearless pursuit of self-reflection, uninhibited self-expression and continual reinvention.

For someone like me who’s been obsessed with sitting in the window seat since I was six years old, I implicitly understand the draw of her latest single and had to see what she was really vibing about. Indulge me as I muse about Erykah’s Window Seat lyrics and what they say about this traveling brown girl’s emotional journey.

Wanderlust (wän-dər-ˌləst) n. – a very strong or irresistible impulse to travel, wander, escape. Eight artists, different era, different musical genres … a shared inspiration. Let me warn you up front though. This is a very eclectic mix. Even if it’s not your style, check it out anyway — atleast once.
