Erykah Badu Performs Surprise Concert


The singer and songwriter Erykah Badu stopped by The New York Times and blessed the newsroom with a very special live performance, featuring songs from her classic albums “Baduizm,” “Mama’s Gun” and “Worldwide Underground.”

Badu also sat down with the journalists and hosts of Popcast, Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli, to discuss her quarter-century reign as one of music’s most idiosyncratic and spiritual figures, her kinship with D’Angelo & Questlove, and much more.
