They Got It Right: 10 Songs About Love That Were Made Into Beautiful Videos
Erykah Badu – Next Lifetime
Director: Unknown
It’s been some time since we’ve actually been able to understand one of Erykah Badu’s videos without her breaking it down for us. Before the glitter, bodily fluids, or her running around naked in the street, Badu gave us “Next Lifetime.” Set in a pre colonized Africa, America during the Civil Rights era and Africa in the future, we watched as Erykah battled her undeniable attraction for a man, despite being in a relationship with another. Not only was the song relatable, the impeccable visuals complemented the message to a tee.
