Erykah Badu Window Seat video strips down to basics

May 20th, 2010

By going nude in the single-shot Erykah Badu Window Seat video, the R&B star has created a social and political stir. By following the path of JFK’s assassination in Dallas, the Erykah Badu Window Seat video tries to make a political statement. Easy payday loans may be necessary to get Erykah Badu’s new album, which comes out tomorrow.

Erykah Badu Window Seat Video makes a political statement

The video for Erykah Badu’s “Window Seat” begins with a radio broadcast that describes JFK’s motorcade turning onto Elm Street in Dallas, minutes before he was assassinated. The Window Seat video cuts then to Erykah Badu sitting in a car parked on Elm Street. Erykah Badu then gets out of the car and walks along the sidewalk, removing every piece of clothing. Once she is totally naked, Erykah Badu falls to the ground at the sound of a gunshot.

Erykah Badu Window Seat video not the first nude music video

The Erykah Badu window Seat video also credits the Matt and Kim “Lessons Learned” music video, where the indie rockers strip down and streak through Times Square. After streaking, Matt and Kim were tackled by police and had to use payday loans to get bailed out. While there has been quite a bit of controversy over these naked music videos, Badu has said via her Twitter account that stripping down for the Window Seat video was “liberating”.

Erykah Badu wanted to spark discussion with her Window Seat video

The Window Seat video was supposed to be a statement against “groupthink” according to Erykah Badu.She hoped to start a discussion about fear, vulnerability, and the “unwritten rule” of not expressing one’s true opinion. The music company that owns Erykah Badu’s music video has blocked it from internet distribution. So, what is your opinion? Is this Window Seat video food for thought, or just a spectacle?
