Press Releases:

It’s been years since Erykah Badu brought her musical stylings to fans. A lot of singers have come and gone, but Badu is gearing up to make a full fledged return with her new single "Honey." The 9th Wonder-produced song, which recently leaked, will officially be released on Tuesday (Nov. 20) and is described by Badu as "an old school track with some funk on it." According to a press release, the release of the single marks Badu's 10th year in the music industry. And what better way to celebrate the milestone than to release a new album? Badu’s forthcoming album will arrive in stores on a special day, Feb. 26, her birthday. In addition to 9th Wonder, the album will include production and engineering services from Madlib, Mike "Chav" Chavarria and R&B singer Bilal. While everyone is wondering what she’s been up to since the release of her last full-length project, Badu admits to playing the back this time around. "The music is the star," she said in the release. "I just laid down my vocals and let the music breathe while the melodies tell the stories." Nuff said. Now that Erykah is coming back, let the candles and incense burn. / You can read the post about the new release at Erykah Badu's MySpace website, plus there is a full-length version of "Honey" and a countdown clock!

Erykah Badu isn't easily forgotten. Whether it's her eclectic attire, her philosophically empowered music or her enigmatic personality, once you experience the phenomenon that is Baduizm, her presence becomes tenacious; just ask her former paramours Andre Benjamin and Common. As ambiguous as she is grounded, Erykah Badu conveys a truth that is definitive, yet frayed. A truth so vivid that it has left critics and fans alike curiously anticipating whether the mother of neo-soul would ever birth another movement. After a four-year hiatus from the spotlight, Ms. Badu is back. However, this time around the “Bag Lady," accompanied by some of the culture’s most organic producers, is rocking her favorite vintage accessory - Hip-Hop. “Honey,” The 9th Wonder-produced lead single off the forthcoming album, foreshadows the musical growth and consciousness that has become expected of the soul star. But she’ll be the first to tell you, “Don’t get too comfortable.” Evolution is inevitable, but Erykah just might be the last of a new breed. Always innovative, never stagnant; no matter where she goes or what she does, as the third syllable of her name suggests, Ery-kah can do no wrong. / To read the interview with Erykah by AllHipHop.com about the new album click here.

Erykah Badu is bringing her unique brand of hip-hop to 2008 with the release of a new album. In this SOHH Exclusive, Badu ruminates on her new title, talks studio adventures with hip-hop beat "scientists," and explains her plans to "heal" hip-hop. "I dug deep down into the bottom of my hip-hop coin purse to find some of the freshest scientific, mathematical absurd geniuses that I could connect with because I was feeling pretty twisted myself," Badu told SOHH. / To read more visit the sohh.com.

With the release of her new single "Honey" produced by soul sample wizard 9th Wonder, Erykah Badu is back on the scene preparing for the release of her as-yet-untitled CD. The self proclaimed "analog girl in a digital world" sat down with SOHH for an interesting conversation about where she's been these last three years and what we can look forward to her new project.

"I've been performing for three years non stop; doing things here and there recording wise... on other people's projects," say Badu. "But when I finally sat down to do something for me... it's therapy for me when I am recording music. I dug deep down into the bottom of my hip-hop coin purse to find some of the freshest, scientific, mathematical, absurd geniuses that I could connect with, because I was feeling pretty twisted myself."
