This just came to my email today. I was at the show in Nashville, Tennessee in July 2023. We loved her show...love her creativity, she brings and encourages great energy..."Peace and love". She performed the popular songs that made her famous, the songs that we love the most and always interacts so well with the audience..."Sisters how y'all feeling?"..."Brothers y'all alright?" - we LOVE that shit. She is the GOAT!!! She's a musical TRAILBLAZER, her creativity is captivating and when she DANCES it's simply hypnotic. Her VOICE is MAJESTIC and HEALS your very soul. Her charm and style is ultra feminine and ORIGINALLY unique. She is unapologetically Erykah; smooth and comfortable in her own skin. She's a BLESSING to womanhood... Her gifts are to be cherished because *** we will not see another one like her in this lifetime.

Erykah Badu Biography
Erykah Badu (born Erica Abi Wright on February 26, 1971 in Dallas, Texas) is an American R&B/hip hop artist whose work crosses over into jazz. She is best known for her singles "You Got Me," her collaboration with The Roots, as well as her own songs "Tyrone", "Love of My Life", "On & On", and "Bag Lady." Her lyrics are highly personal urban philosophy which throw emotional challenges in the face of the listener. She weaves unusual musical influences together creating a rich texture of sound.
Some music journalists have labeled her Nu soul, nouvelle-soul or neo soul, often comparing her to Billie Holiday in lyrical delivery and grouping her with Maxwell and D'Angelo in musical genre. She has performed with roots rock reggae musician and singer Burning Spear.
Trivia: Has a son named Seven with OutKast's Andre 3000. The Outkast hit single "Ms. Jackson"(2000) actually adresses Erykah's mother.
On July 5, 2004, Badu gave birth to a daughter, Puma, in her Dallas home; the father is reportedly rapper The D.O.C.
