The queen of neo-soul, Erykah Badu, is the latest artist to join the 2023 tour circuit.
The four time Grammy-winning singer announced her Unfollow Me Tour with an Instagram reel featuring AI portraits of herself. Badu will be hitting the road nationwide, along with hip-hop’s most introspective and insightful artist, Yasiin Bey. She also noted that there will be “extraordinary guests.”
“Badu Summer Tour 2023…(( UNFOLLOW ME )) w/ @yasiinbey and other EXTRAORDINARY GUESTS!!! … Tickets go up 4/20 …coming to your city ..link in bio”
The Unfollow Me tour will touch down in 25-cities throughout the U.S. between June 11 and July 23, 2023 with the first stop in San Antonio, Texas, Badu’s home state. The On & On singer is the latest vocalist to hit the road this year. Beyonce, SZA, Janet Jackson and Anita Baker are also gearing up for their spring/summer tours.
New Music
It’s been almost ten years since Badu released a full project. But You Caint Use My Phone released in 2015, is the singer’s most recent body of work. The mixtape takes influence from hiphop, R&B, jazz with lyrics that focus on the themes of communication, notably through phones. Since then she has released a single, “Tempted” with James Poyser and was featured on Teyana Taylor’s track, “Lowkey.”
