I'm definitely going to have to check her out since she's coming to RVA. I haven't seen her live in years.

I would appreciate a collection of new tunes, preferably without a gazillion samples.

Thank you. I loved the Phone mixtape, but she's gone 7 years and counting with no album.

Whats the project shes touring under? Telephone from last year?

anyways shes the type of artist with such a strong catalogue that she can tour with nothing new and folks would still check her out

I was just hoping this tour announcment meant that she was coming with a proper new release

Song writers get stage fright. Springsteen takes ten years per album.

No he doesnt

She is a great performer

europe and asia getting them some badu huh?! that might just be well appreciated. there's some "heads" over there. detroit is too "typical" of a stop for her, we get her a lot. this concept looks interesting. i might've hollered at her for the first time. btw, she don't need a new album to tour...she's badu BITCHES!

I'm so upset I'll be in DC the day she does the show in Houston

Love The Queen of neo Soul, Love the Title of the Tour and her Tribute to Prince at The BET Awards was right on time...

..so no new album ha?

I would still see her but its nice to have a new album to listen to in preperation.

It must be great to be an artist like her. People still want to see her even when she has nothing new, just because the want to see her.

That was my point.

She bad.

Lauryn was almot the same way but she blew it with her bad reputation for performances, punctuality, attitutde (to her audeince), and reworking her timeless music into some garbled bullshit/mess.
