  <title>Erykah Badu at Opera House, Sydney on 19 Feb 2012</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Location: Opera House

GRAMMY® award winning artist Erykah Badu is touching down in Australia this summer in what is sure to be the hottest ticket of the season.

Forging her own path in soul music and almost single-handedly directing the genre since the ’97 debut Baduizm, Badu’s releases have always demanded critics attention, whilst her live shows incite rapturous engagement from audiences as she bursts through hits like On & On, Love Of My Life, Apple Tree, Tyrone, Bag Lady, Window Seat and more.

Her latest release New Amerykah Part II (Return Of The Ankh) further pushed the boundaries of contemporary soul music, enlisting the work of previous collaborators James Poyser and Ahmir ?uestlove Thompson (The Roots, Al Green) as well as cutting edge producers like Madlib, Sa Ra Creative Partners, Karriem Riggins (Diana Krall) and the late J Dilla.

Erykah Badu will perform live for the very first time in her own headline shows in Australia, offering fans their first taste to see her in concert in exquisite and historic venues such as Sydney Opera House, Melbourne’s Palais Theatre and Perth’s picturesque Kings Park. For the latter two events, she will be joined by New Zealand’s Fat Freddy’s Drop.

The enigmatic seven piece soul act have won the world over with their hypnotic live performances which translate their impeccable records to a live setting in a similarly dynamic fashion to Badu’s razor sharp band. Their last album ‘Live At Roundhouse London’ showcased the incredible live show, which takes in highlights from their albums ‘Based On A True Story’ and ‘Dr Boondigga and the Big BW’ and Australian audiences may be in for a taste of new material, which is hinted at a mid 2012 release.

Do not miss the captivating Erykah Badu as she tours across Australia for the first time in her own headline shows, joined by Fat Freddy’s Drop in Melbourne and Perth for some of the most musically exquisite engagements of the summer programme.

  <title>Erykah Badu at Sydney Opera House, Sydney on 20 Feb 2012</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Location: Sydney Opera House

Get set to be blown away by the extra-ordinary Queen of Neo-Soul, Grammy Award winning artist, Erykah Badu in her first ever headline Australian tour, with 10-piece band. 

‘With a voice equal parts Chaka Kahn, Aretha Franklin and Beyonce, Badu swooned, screamed, hollered and serenaded her audience …utterly compelling.’ thevine.com.au   

With an incredible career spanning R&B, hip hop and jazz, Badu is barely comparable, in the best possible way. Forging her own path in soul music - and almost single-handedly directing the genre - since her ’97 debut Baduizm sold over 3 million copies; Badu is renowned for live shows that incite rapturous engagement and lifelong allegiance.

Bursting through hits like On & On, Love Of My Life, Apple Tree, Tyrone, Bag Lady, Window Seat and more, her passionate, politicised, polished performances are utterly compelling, leaving audiences transfixed. Not only can she freestyle with the best of the best contemporary rapper, but will melt your heart with her languid vocal styling often compared to the likes of Billie Holiday and Aretha Franklin.

Her latest release New Amerykah Part II (Return Of The Ankh) further pushed the boundaries of contemporary soul music, enlisting the work of previous collaborators James Poyser and Ahmir ?uestlove Thompson (The Roots, Al Green) as well as cutting edge producers like Madlib, Sa Ra Creative Partners, Karriem Riggins (Diana Krall) and the late J Dilla.

Do not miss the captivating Erykah Badu in concert this summer.

‘Badu had control of her band with a tightness of which I can only compare to the legendary James Brown. …Leaving us all salivating for more.’ musicfeeds.com.au

‘Superiorly seductive R&B which doesn't insult your intelligence while still turning your head’  The Independent, UK]]></description>
