Before The World Blows: The Abi and Alan Experiment [CD]

Erykah Badu & The Alchemist - Before The World Blows: The Abi and Alan Experiment [CD]

In the eleven years since her last project, Erykah Badu has gathered not conclusions but a series of existential insights. Before the World Blows: The Abi and Alan Experiment exists within the tension between introspection and growth. Abi is Badu. Alan is The Alchemist. Recorded over 18 months in Dallas and Los Angeles, the album is the inevitable collision of two iconoclasts - hypnotic, funny, blunt, deeply personal, and impossible to categorize neatly.
