Not exactly sure what Erykah Badu’s fixation on 3:33 is, but today, at 3:33 p.m. Central Time, she released a video for her song “Out My Mind, Just In Time,” via Twitter.
The video only lasts 2:58, far shorter than the album version of the song, which is 10:22. Perhaps fans can expect a longer version in the future, but in the meantime they can enjoy the dressed down production she released today. No, it’s not dressed down like the one she filmed at Dealey Plaza last year. It’s not nearly as exciting in that way. But what it lacks in shock value, it makes up for in simplicity and sensuality.
Shot on what appears to be very grainy black and white film, Badu, wearing a white night gown, dances interpretively around a low-lit set — almost as if she’s putting on a one-woman stage act. She glides around smoothly, sometimes standing, sometimes laying down. Her dress flows with her movements, somehow adding even more melancholy to the yearning song.
