Rehearsal Space: Erykah Badu

For more episodes of Rehearsal Space, visit http://weallmakemusic.com/topic/video-series/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 new 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. From collaborating with producers on her iChat buddy list to exploring the digital side of music production, first with Garage Band and ultimately with Logic Studio, Erykah uses technology to help communicate her highly personal urban philosophies to the world.

r u serious? Of all people Badu needs a stylist? If anything stylists need a Badu - right quick n pronto - the girl is so original, creative n sexy, she looks better than any model - plus she's got mad music and the lyrics to boot. I'd like to see you pull off a tattered, mahogany suit.

For the person that made the comment about Badu getting a stylist........Badu is Big Hair. Besides incredible lyrics and nice choices in what sound of music she chooses to be on her songs, the first thing I think about when I think Erykah Badu is big hair, big hats, and alot of creative style that is her own. Lady Gaga doesn't have anything on Badu as far as style.
