Multi-platinum-selling, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter-actress Erykah Badu, one of the best loved, most constantly challenging and uniquely creative artists currently working in popular music, has announced a one-off Toronto date for August 11.

Badu’s new album New Amerykah, Part II: Return of the Ankh, was recently released to unanimous acclaim. In ancient Egypt, the hieroglyphic character of the ankh at the fingertips of a goddess symbolized eternal life. If Erykah Badu’s “cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone,” as she so coquettishly proclaims in the legendary single “On & On” from her dazzling 1997 debut, Baduizm, her latest opus, New Amerykah, Part II: Return of the Ankh, the follow-up to 2008’s critically acclaimed New Amerykah Part One: 4th World War, represents the point in Erykah’s career where she has traveled that cipher’s full 360 degrees and been revitalized.

The new album, a warm recital of personal philosophies on love and heartbreak, marries the understated wit of the old Erykah to the sonically venturesome new Erykah. On New Amerykah, Part II: Return of the Ankh, structured ballads and airy jam sessions coexist peacefully in the same soulful arena.

A galvanizing live performer renowned for her electrifying stage presence and soulful vocal ability, Erykah Badu promises to deliver a live experience not to be missed.
