--- - |- Erykah Badu is back and better than ever. I missed her big afro and funky voice. Her album oozes soul, beautiful rifts, societal protest and marijuana (mm). I would best describe her new album as lauryn hill meets radiohead. Besides a jazzy, hip hop, sultry vibe this album still screams Badu circa 1990s, which is a always good. I recommend sitting (high or not) and listening... you ...

Erykah Badu created quite a buzz this week, unfortunately not about New Amerykah Part 2 (Return of the Ankh) which was rumoured to be coming out July 29th. No, the latest attention is focused on her third pregnancy with her third baby daddy without a marriage ceremony. I thought we lived in a more progressive age where this kind of thing would hardly be newsworthy, or at least an age of nucle...

Finally getting around to mogging about seeing Erykah again with Mos Def headlining & Jay Electronica opening for them, September 3rd in San Francisco at Davies Symphony Hall. I was surprised Erykah was playing San Francisco so quickly after her amazing headlining back in June. All I knew was that I HAD to see her again!Now, I haven't been much of a Mos Def fan until I got his 'The Ecstatic' al...

So after all the live fun with watching Erykah in concert, we had meet & greet passes to see her up close & personal. We had to wait a bit but it was oh so worth it. As the general manager of the facility guided us down into the depths underneath The Warfield's concert hall we were ushered into a long narrow room. Erykah was just informing everyone there that she was in the process of filming a...

We(Annieander, her friend Sherri & I) arrived early to make sure the tix/passes were at will call. They were not, so fortunately I had Paul's number and I called him and he made things happen. So thanks to him we got in but it wouldn't have happened w/o his phone nu...

As the opener to her fourth studio album New Amerykah, Pt. 1 (4th World War), “Amerykahn Promise” encompasses the full flavor that Erykah Badu has to offer this time around. Without much singing from Badu, the song brings us a 1970s funk vibe, complete with wailing police sirens and an announcer’s voice promising “more action, more excitement, more everything.” Just as the music dies dow
