Erykah Badu to Release New Music Independently on Her Own Label Control FREAQ Records
Erykah Badu has announced that she'll be dropping music later this summer on her own record label, Control FREAQ Records.
Erykah Badu at the Billboard Women in Music 2025 held at the YouTube Theater on March 29, 2025 in Los Angeles. The neo-soul pioneer established Control FREAQ Records in 2005, representing her “desire to foster creativity and innovation in the music industry,” according to a press release. She also spoke about the birth of Control FREAQ back in 2005, saying it was built as a “profitable home for artists, with fair contracts that will return ownership of the music to the artists after a period of time.” The label’s first signee was Jay Electronica, the father of Badu’s third child.
