Erykah Badu - Window Seat


Fatbellybella twitters:
#windowseat was shot guerilla style, no crew, 1 take , no closed set , no warning , 2 min . , don town dallas , then ran like hell...


Badu has drawn much attention from its climax, a scene that not only features her removing undergarments but bending down only to be shot seconds later. After the shot and collapse, a man yells "groupthink," followed by Badu's words: "they play it safe. They are quick to assassinate what they do not understand. They move in packs ingesting more and more fear with each act of hate on one another. They feel most comfortable in groups.... less guilt to swallow. They are us. This is what we have become, afraid to respect an individual. A single person within a circumstance can move one to change to love ourself... to evolve."

Confirming the video's message, which derives from 'Group Think' (a type of thought exhibited by group members who try to minimize conflict and reach consensus without critically testing, analyzing), ...Badu says "We are ALL guilty of groupthink we have all been VICTIMS of groupthink."

Her album is in stores tomorrow - 3.30

It's already getting amazing reviews!!! I CAN't WAIT!
