"Honey" is a song by Erykah Badu, released on December 11, 2007, as the lead single from her 2008 album New Amerykah Part One (4th World War). The song was produced by 9th Wonder and samples singer Nancy Wilson's 1978 song "I'm in Love".
Directed by Badu and Chris Robinson, the song's music video was released on January 28, 2008, and was conceived by Badu as an homage to classic records. Set in a small business record store, it follows a customer looking through vintage R&B, hip hop, and rock LP albums, with the albums' cover artwork depicted as moving images with Badu cast in them. According to Robinson, "We wanted a video that spoke to Badu's eclecticism. Those album covers represent all the influences that she embodies." Albums covers that were recreated in the video are those of:
Rufus featuring Chaka Khan (1975) by Rufus
Blue (2006) by Diana Ross
Maggot Brain (1971) by Funkadelic
Paid in Full (1987) by Eric B. & Rakim
Honey (1975) by Ohio Players
Perfect Angel (1975) by Minnie Riperton
Chameleon (1976) by Labelle
3 Feet High and Rising (1989) by De La Soul
Let It Be (1970) by The Beatles
Illmatic (1994) by Nas
Physical (1981) by Olivia Newton-John
Nightclubbing (1981) by Grace Jones
Head to the Sky (1973) by Earth, Wind & Fire
As a video within a video, the record store's video screen plays an excerpt of the song "Annie" performed by Badu's side project Edith Funker, which features Questlove, James Poyser, Nikka Costa, Mike Elizondo, and Wendy Melvoin. The video also features a cameo appearance by Sa-Ra member Shafiq Husayn. The video also features a recreated version of Rolling Stone magazine's front cover for its January 1981 issue, which originally featured John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
The video won Best Direction at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.
