Introducing… Selah Sue
3
Two minutes ago we were taken aback by Selah Sue. Her voice, attitude and her demeanor is not that of the average singer. We are very excited about her and are looking forward to listening to more and more. Here’s a synopsis of her story: “Selah Sue was not destined to become an artist. “I grew up in a really little town in Belgium, and none of my family was into music,” reveals the twenty‐one year old, with refreshing sincerity. “As a kid, I wanted to be a ballerina. I danced from the age of six to twelve”. Even without romanticising it, her story is like a fairy tale. It’s the story of a young musician who ignores her fate, and pours her anxieties into her songs and her guitar. “I had all these worries and depressions that I wrote down, it was a way of structuring my thoughts”.

The queen of neosoul, Erykah Badu, is back in the studio laying some major beats with new collaborators. The Analog Girl In A Digital World is making waves with UK-based Gorillaz and producer Flying Lotus. Usually, Erykah Badu albums takes ages to be released, but we have a feeling this will be coming out sometime this year as Badu rarely announced her work-in-progress efforts. At any rate, it’s always good to hear.
Legendary: “You Sent Me Flying (Live)” by Amy Winehouse
1This is one of our favorite Amy Winehouse tracks ever. One time we spent 6 hours listening to it on repeat on a flight from Amsterdam to Kuwait. Lovely song and her reference to Erykah Badu was so timely, her voice flawless.

Allegedly, the one and only soultress with the mostest Erykah Badu is venturing into the world of dance music. Rumors are circulating that with her new job as DJ Lo Down Loretta Brown has gotten her into the groove of making some shaking sounds. The queen of neosoul goes by different aliases like Medula Oblongata, Sera Ballum, Analog Girl In A Digital World and @Fatbellybella. So, it could be one of those phases. We all know how long Miss Badu takes to make an album.

Must-Watch: Video Premiere: “Gone Baby, Don’t Be Long” by Erykah Badu
1Erykah Badu has disappeared, as usual, so we thought that she got over her second installation of the New Amerykah series, which is also her final of it. But, she dropped into 2011 with a much-wanted video for one of the best tracks on an equally stellar album. “Gone Baby, Don’t Be Long” is tale of longing from an analog girl onto the digital world.

Exclusive: Erykah Badu terminates plans for “Part 3″ of album series!
1
Erykah Badu, our beautiful soulstress, has ended plans for a third installation of the series New Amerykah. Over a chat we had with her over Twitter, Erykah Badu asserted that there will not be another part to the series. Badu previously announced in a German TV show that she is considering the merger of both brain sides to create part 3. But, now no more! Let’s hope this means there’s another project in the pipeline from one of our favorite singers.
Erykah Badu charged with disorderly conduct
A charge of disorderly conduct has been filed by the Dallas Police Department against Erykah Badu for walking naked in public while filming “Window Seat.” More details.
