Rehearsal Space

Erykah Badu has been a distinctive and prominent voice in music since her debut album, Baduizm, entered the Billboard Charts at number #2 in 1997. As a poet, a performer, a style icon and a producer, this “analogue girl in a digital world” has successfully controlled both her image and her music. In this episode of Rehearsal Space, Erykah explains why her album, New Amerykah Part One (4th World War), is the album she wanted to write all her life. She also discusses how technology made it possible.
