Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Meditates on Erykah Badu's New Amerykah Part Two-engaging in deep study of its individual tracks, while also painting the album's movement as a seamless stitching of vignettes that bleed into each other.
MoreLong description:
"
Conceived and first composed on her laptop at home, with some vocals recorded in her bathroom, Erykah Badu's New Amerykah Part Two is lo-fi and highly sophisticated-exquisitely analog and experimentally techy.
Erykah Badu's New Amerykah Part Two is lofi and highly sophisticated-exquisitely analog and experimentally techy. It begins with a radio signal tuning in, and it asks its listener to participate in their own process of attunement, to listen to familiar sounds anew, and open ourselves to an alternate Amerykah. An organism at once cohesive and discordant, it flows, jams, grooves, bounces. It transforms.
Placing Badu in an intertextual constellation of artists and critics from Stevie Wonder, to Amiri Baraka, to Alice Coltrane, Kameryn Alexa Carter explores whether neo-soul is dead, acknowledges Baduizm as a potent form of Black female spirituality, and tunes into Badu's ""freakquencies"", taking the reader through a series of synesthetic dream sequences as she revisits the album again and again.
