The full Abi & Alan album will be heard live on tour ahead of its release
In an unprecedented move that’s set to revolutionize how music is released, powerhouse producer and sonic vanguard Erykah Badu and legendary hip-hop producer The Alchemist will premiere their collaborative album Abi & Alan exclusively during their Luv Iz… Tour, before the album hits streaming platforms. This groundbreaking approach marks what is believed to be a music industry first.
The Abi & Alan Luv Is Tour, running August 8-24, will give audiences the exclusive opportunity to experience the entire album performed live by Badu and The Cannabinoids before its official release on August 29th. This marks what is believed to be the first time in music history that an artist has chosen to debut their album during live concerts rather than through traditional release channels.
Tickets are available now. With intimate venues and limited seating, these exclusive listening experiences are expected to sell out quickly.
The tour transforms each venue into an exclusive listening party where attendees will hear tracks from Abi & Alan for the very first time, performed live with The Cannabinoids, featuring award-winning producers RC Williams, A1, Rob Free, S1, and Jah Born, bringing the album to life using Badu’s signature digital-analog fusion.
Following the tour’s conclusion, the album will be available on all streaming platforms, executive produced by Badu on her Control FreaQ Records label.
