''But You Cain’t Use My Phone'' is a mixtape by American recording artist Erykah Badu, first released on November 17, 2015, through Motown and Control Freaq. Following the release of ''New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh)'' (2010), Badu embarked on a five year hiatus, during which she traveled to Africa in an attempt to record new music, however this never surfaced. After receiving a remix of On and On" from producer Zac Witness, Badu contacted him in order to record with him, shortly after the pair met again and went to Witness's home in Dallas, Texas and worked in his bedroom studio, where they recorded the album over eleven days. ==Background== In 2004, she received her first computer as a Christmas gift from drummer and producer Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson, and began communicating with and receiving music from him and other producers such as Q-Tip and J Dilla. Beginning in 2005, Badu worked from her home in Dallas and used the software application GarageBand as a digital audio workstation, which she was introduced to by her son,〔 Seven. He taught her how to use her laptop as a mini recording studio, and she used it to construct various backing tracks for songs. Using GarageBand, she recorded demos of her vocals by singing into the computer's microphone.〔 She composed more than 75 songs within the year and intended on splitting them among her planned series of three ''New Amerykah'' albums.〔 After releasing ''New Amerykah Part One (4th World War)'' (2008) and ''New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh)'' (2010), Badu was expected to release the third album in the series, however Badu embarked on a five year hiatus. In May 2013, Erykah Badu announced she is writing for her next project, but she is not placing a time constraint on it.〔("Erykah Badu and Janelle Monae Talk New Albums and New Music" ), Singersroom, May 28, 2013.〕 In July 2014, Badu revealed she was still working on the album and had been recording in April in Africa where she was "laying down drum tracks". Badu continued to reveal that prior to her trip to Africa she has meetings with her record label to set a deadline for the album.〔Robert Wilonsky, ("Erykah Badu on that next record, playing casinos and Dave Chappelle’s epic ‘Block Party’" ), ''The Dallas Morning News'', July 8, 2014.〕 Later that year Badu expanded on the album, stating she was working with producer Flying Lotus, whom she met via MySpace years earlier; they later met in L.A. at guitarist Steve Wilsons house.〔Sean Fennessey, ("Erykah Badu" ), ''GQ''.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「But U Cain’t Use My Phone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
