Following Erykah Badu on Twitter this morning, we get a glimpse of the challenging record production process. Last night she announced that she had 24 hours to clear a Paul McCartney sample or her song would not make the album. Ultimately the powers of @fatbellybella made this thing - clearing samples - a notoriously long, difficult, often impossible process- into an incredibly easy link-up. And it looks like the sample has been cleared already, so we'll be happy to hear that particular track on the next New Amerykah!

"Window Seat," another single from New Amerykah came out last week.

Buy it here on iTunes.
