A Quote by Erykah Badu

Erykah Badu projects don't even sound like Erykah Badu projects. I don't even have one album that sounds like another one of my albums.

Erykah Badu
American - Musician
Born: February 26, 1971

I used to be offended when people would compare me to Erykah Badu. Because I'm black, thick, and have large lips? There's nothing similar about us whatsoever, and I felt very disrespected by the fact that people needed to pigeonhole me. I wasn't even raised on Erykah Badu!

SZA

I really think only Erykah Badu can be Erykah Badu.

Ari Lennox

Basically, coming up, listening to Cash Money and Master P, and my mother would listen to Sade and Erykah Badu, things like that. I didn't like that music back then, but now, I guess, to look for soothing music or tones, you know, I would look to that, and I would love to do something with Sade or Erykah Badu.

Valee

My idols are singers like Billie Holiday and Erykah Badu because there's no gloss on what they do.

Andra Day

I have mentors like Erykah Badu. She's been like a big sister to me.

Janelle Monae

I love Erykah Badu. Every time I listen to her music, I'm, like, laying out all the instruments in the song, like, how I would loop it.

Tash Sultana

Erykah Badu - she's timeless, that's my second mom.

Trippie Redd

Then I met people at school who were into Erykah Badu and Snoop Dogg. I like heaps of different music, but that was a real pivotal time in terms of finding my way.

Alice Levine

Erykah Badu sang with me at a sold out show in San Francisco which was great.

Bonobo

I'm a huge Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu fan, so working with those two in any capacity would be a dream.

Andra Day

When I started making my own music I was listening to people like Erykah Badu and Elliott Smith. I think I always gravitated towards slightly more understated voices because it felt like I could really connect with what they were saying. It felt more like a conversation.

Arlo Parks

I don't have much of a wish list, but I'm dying to work with Erykah Badu. That's pretty much my dream collaboration.

Kaytranada

I was exposed to a lot of OutKast, Timbaland, Eminem, and my mom introduced me to India.Arie and Erykah Badu, so I guess I'm a mash-up of those styles.

Ravyn Lenae

I started with soul music and icons like Aretha Franklin and Etta James and then moved to R&B and artists such as Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill. Electronic music came later on, when I was in high school and I was really influenced by artists like Skrillex and Major Lazer.
