Why do we like this?

If you haven't had your fill of covers or remixes of Drake's slow-churning emo rap single "Hotline Bling," then you'll want to listen to the latest interpretation of the song by Erykah Badu.

She kept the original groove, vibe, and beat of the song... but has, of course, added in a handful of instruments to give the track a more organic feel. She sings tweaked lyrics and an additional interlude that makes the song more interesting. This is not just your typical cover.

What's more, that the song may be appearing on an upcoming mixtape of hers titled BUT U CAINT USE MY PHONE. If you've missed Miss Badu, don't wait one second longer to listen to her rework of Drake's "Hotline Bling."
