Popcast Interview w/ Erykah Badu

The singer and songwriter Erykah Badu stopped by “Popcast” for a wide-ranging conversation about her reign as one of music’s most idiosyncratic and spiritual figures. She also discussed her early days and kinship with D’Angelo & Questlove, radical empathy for society’s villains, love and Hip-Hop. Then, she treated The Times’ newsroom to a very special live performance, featuring a new track and songs from her classic albums “Baduizm,” “Mama’s Gun” and “Worldwide Underground.”
