Erykah Badu On Stage & On The Phone

Hold the phone – we gotta talk about Erykah Badu! The R&B/soul singer just racked up another Top 10 hit and has a handful of appearances lined up at festivals across the U.S.

“Phone Down” marks her 10th Top 10 R&B tune. The track is included on her latest mixtape, But You Caint Use My Phone, which was released in November. Fans had been waiting since 2010’s New Amerykah Part Two for new music from Badu.
