ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode we dive deep into Erykah Badu's timeless track, "Next Lifetime", that blends 90s R&B vibes with the roots of the neo-soul movement. This mid-tempo ballad explores reincarnation, spiritual longing, and emotional fidelity. But we explore the unexpected theology, unpacking the cliché,“too heavenly minded to be any earthly good”, echoing the tension between spiritual promise and present-day reality.
“Next Lifetime” Written and Produced by Erykah Badu and A. Scott (Tone the Backbone). Performed by Erykah Badu. Released 1997.
