Episode Details

Erykah Badu and The Alchemist are teaming up for their first joint album, “The Abi and Alan Experiment,” dropping August 28, 2026 — after 18 months of recording in Dallas and LA. Already teasing tracks like “Witch Doctor” and “Next To You,” the project blends Badu’s soulful vocals with Alchemist’s signature beats, layered with funk, jazz, rock, and hip-hop. It’s her first full album in 11 years, shaped by her life as a touring artist, teacher, and doula. They road-tested the entire record live in 2024-25, refining it with crowd energy and MPC wizardry. Now they’re hitting North America, UK, and Europe on tour — plus more US dates for the release. Stream “Witch Doctor” now and check tour dates on Erykah Badu’s site.
