Erykah Badu Announces First Album in 15 Years

The neo-soul legend is back with a highly anticipated project, teaming up with The Alchemist.

The neo-soul icon recently revealed in an interview with Billboard that she’s deep into the process of recording her first studio album in 15 years, officially marking her highly anticipated return to the music scene. While the Texas native has kept busy touring, collaborating, and curating her holistic empire, fans have eagerly awaited a new body of work since New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh) dropped in 2010. That wait is finally coming to an end, and the pairing with The Alchemist—a producer revered for his work with hip-hop heavyweights like Freddie Gibbs, Griselda, and Kendrick Lamar —signals an exciting sonic direction.
