Erykah Badu
Her songs seem to have endless permutations of arrangements: instead of set melodies and structures to be rigidly adhered to, in Badu's hands they sound like living, breathing and growing entities.

Why see Erykah Badu?
The First Lady Of Neo-soul
This Texan born American singer songwriter has helped define a musical genre since the 1990s. Neo-soul gained visibility and commercial success when the likes of Erykah released albums that made it into the mainstream like Baduizm in 1997 and Mama's Gun in 2000. Make sure you don't miss a night of iconic music, and non-stop feel-good sounds.
who is erykah badu?
Known as the Queen of Neo-soul, this influential soulstress's chart-topping singles have won Grammy Awards and hit the top of the charts since her first release 'Baduism' in 1997. Likened to Billie Holliday, her work takes elements from R&B, hip hop and jazz and has been credited with the rise of the neo-soul subgenre. Never one to shy from controversy, in 2010 her now iconic music video for Window Seat saw her walk through the streets of her native Dallas discarding her clothes until naked.

NAS AND BADU WERE GREAT
Nas snapped. Did all my cuts except for Ether but I understand why-can't trip. Badu is the bomb and the African dance she did was nice. Whoever didn't like it doesn't understand Badu's true essence. Next time you come to Chicago Ms. Badu, please do "Back in the Day" Please!!!! On second thought if you did perform it I would have snapped, might have caught a case. Great time though ... Read more
