Ms. Badu promises “surprises” and “guests” on her latest effort.

Erykah Badu will release But You Caint Use My Phone on Friday, November 27 as an iTunes/Apple Music exclusive with a full release on December 4.

According to a press release, 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.

“Badu and [producer] 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. It is a sound that Badu herself referrers to as a “whole new frequency” for fans.”

The stellar album art and the tracklist are below. It’s worth noting that her remix of Drake’s ‘Hotline Bling’ is now titled ‘Cell U Lar Device’. [via Pitchfork]
