Badu and Witnessin dedicated a lot of time to precise mixing work, toying with EQs and other filters so that the sound’s frequency and vibration move in tandem to capture a feeling she refers to as ‘sympathetic vibration.’ Badu also used a tuning fork and Tibetan singing bowls to fine-tune these details, with the goal of creating a sound that brings peace and tranquility to its listener. Highly renowned for her forward-thinking, eclectic and cerebral sound, the mixtape expertly weaves Erykah Badu’s trademark soulful vocals with psychedelic soundscapes, Hip Hop-inflected beats, smooth R&B, jazz, art-rock and found sounds into a new genre Erykah describes as TRap & B. The title of the tape is a reference to her own 1997 song “Tyrone,” and according to a press release, “Each song makes reference to telephones and our own reliance on staying inter-connected.” Badu recorded the project in Dallas with producer Zach Witnessin, and this is how the press release describes it: This album marks Badu’s first full-length release since 2010’s New Amerykah Part Two: Return Of The Ankh. We’ve already heard “ Phone Down” and Badu’s cover of Drake’s “Hotline Bling,” which appears on the tape as “ Cell U Lar Device.” Listen to the mixtape and check out the tracklist below.

UPDATE: The technical glitch on iTunes/Apple Music is still valid, but you’re able to stream But You Caint Use My Phone in full right now via Datpiff. The closing track is called “Hello” - timely! - and it features André 3000, Badu’s former boyfriend and the father of her son Seven.
Badu says it has to do with heavy traffic - “I think we broke iTunes,” she tweeted last night - but whatever the case, you can hear the songs individually on Apple Music by searching the album title. Erykah Badu’s But You Caint Use My Phone mixtape is supposed to be on iTunes and Apple Music right now, but there seems to be some kind of technical glitch keeping the album off iTunes.
