Erykah Badu - New Album Era !

[musicmania001]

Good it's about damn time. She's been silent far to long.

Erykah brings it with her music..........

[SHOOTER]

I know she worked with the Neptunes and some more mainstream producers for this project so I'm wondering if anything from those sessions made the cut and how she blended them into her soulful sound!

[SWEET DREAMS]

I love me some Badu. I was just watching her "I want You" performance on youtube. The woman is so fierce live. I hope she comes around my way so I can experience it first hand.

Her daughter is adorable!

But it'd be commercial suicide! :o

I like her albums, but she hits me more singles-wise. I think "Bag Lady" (and its kick-ass video too, kinda lo-fi but classy) has the right to be considered a classic of modern day music.

I doubt that will happen... I don't think she'll be able to record 3 albums if she's doing concerts here and there and has a child to take care of... plus she usually writes her own music, right? Unless she has tons of material that she wants to spew out, but I agree.... it could commercially be a disaster.

I doubt it'd be 3 new studio albums of new material.

Unless she pulled a Beyonce and recorded each one in 2 weeks.

New song "Real Thing (Music Is Everything)", produced by Madlib is here...

R&B vocalist Erykah Badu will perform July 21 at Conseco Fieldhouse as part Indiana Black Expo's 37th annual Summer Celebration, organizers announced Thursday.

Scheduled for July 12-22, Summer Celebration also will feature veteran R&B acts the O'Jays, Peabo Bryson and Atlantic Starr in a free concert July 22 at American Legion Mall, plus the event's traditional celebrity basketball game, teen forums, heath fair and consumer exhibitions.
In conjunction with the lineup announcement, Expo officials presented the organization's annual report for 2006 at a gathering at Downtown's Skyline Club.
Expo ended 2006 with total net assets of $2.3 million, compared to 2005's end-of-year balance of $2.2 million, according to the annual report.
Organizers also reported an attendance figure of 340,741 for last year's Summer Celebration. The Circle City Classic football game and related activities -- the other signature event on Expo's calendar -- drew 162,316 people last October.
Badu, winner of four Grammy Awards, will headline a bill that also features vocalist Anthony Hamilton.
While Badu hasn't issued a solo recording since 2003's "Worldwide Underground," she contributed several songs to the soundtrack of 2006 film "Dave Chappelle's Block Party."
Tickets for the Conseco Fieldhouse concert -- priced at $49.99 and $45.99 -- go on sale at 10 a.m. May 11.
Tickets will be available at the venue, at Ticketmaster locations, by visiting www.ticketmaster.com or by calling [phone].
