ERYKAH
BADU ANNOUNCES 2010 NORTH AMERICAN
OUT MY MIND, JUST IN
TIME TOUR
ERYKAH BADU has confirmed
dates for her 2010 North American tour, Out My Mind, Just In Time. The
tour takes its name from the closing track on the multiple GRAMMY®
Award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, director, and actor’s new
album, NEW AMERYKAH PART TWO: RETURN OF THE ANKH, which debuted at No. 2
on Billboard’s Digital Albums chart and No. 4 on the Top 200 chart.
ERYKAH BADU’s Out
My Mind, Just In Time Tour will make stops at a mix of amphitheaters and
concert halls throughout North America this spring, beginning on May 22
at Pier Six Pavilion in Baltimore, MD and wrapping up on June 24 at The
Pearl Concert Theater in Las Vegas, NV. For more information and

A galvanizing live performer
renowned for her electrifying stage presence and soulful vocal ability,
ERYKAH BADU’s Out My Mind, Just In Time Tour promises to deliver a
fantastically funky live experience not to be missed. The outing will
also feature an exciting revolving cast of opening acts that vary by
city, including N.E.R.D., Bilal, Janelle Monae, and drummer Ahmir
“?uestlove” Thompson from The Roots.
Released by Universal Motown
Records on 3.30 2010 AD (((333))), ERYKAH BADU’s fifth studio album, NEW
AMERYKAH PART TWO: RETURN OF THE ANKH, arrived to a chorus of critical
acclaim that hushed critics of the controversial music video for the
album’s first single, “Window Seat.” Newsweek calls NEW AMERYKAH PART
TWO “the R&B album of the moment that actually has a hint of
timelessness about it.” The Washington Post says, “This is Badu at her
retro-futuristic best.” And People raves, “This is the album that fans
have been waiting for.”
NEW AMERYKAH PART TWO is the
long-awaited follow-up to ERYKAH BADU’s superb 2008 disc, New Amerykah
Part One: 4th World War. The current single, “Window Seat,” has been
heating up airwaves and will be featured as Delta Airlines in-flight
boarding music throughout the month of April. Other highlights from the
new album include the funky fresh party jam “Turn Me Away (Get MuNNY),” a
hypnotic hustler’s anthem called “Gone Baby, Don’t Be Long” that
famously contains a sample of “Arrow Through Me” by Paul McCartney and
Wings, and the breathtaking three-part suite “Out My Mind Just In Time,”
which also inspired the concept and title of the album cover artwork
designed by ERYKAH BADU in collaboration with famed artist and poster
designer EMEK.
ERYKAH BADU has been busy promoting the release of NEW AMERYKAH
PART TWO: RETURN OF THE ANKH with recent television performances on
Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (March 3), The Wendy Williams Show (March
25), Good Day New York (March 26), Jimmy Kimmel Live (March 30), Chelsea
Lately (March 31), and The Wanda Sykes Show (April 3). She is also
visible on newsstands on the April cover of EQ and featured in Nylon,
Playboy, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Time Out New York,
Newsweek, and New York Magazine, among many other publications.
In addition to
ERYKAH BADU’s Out My Mind, Just In Time Tour, she has joined the lineups
for this summer’s Lollapalooza festival and will reunite with the
revamped Lilith Fair tour for 7 Canadian and U.S. dates. She will also
