Erykah Badu

Just ahead of dropping her mobile-minded But You Caint Use My Phone release in late November, Erykah Badu popped up on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 program to deliver a mix of some of her current favourite jams. A couple months later, Badu has brought the mix to the rest of the masses as +++BEATS BEES LIKE FOR B-BOYS AND B-GIRLS+++. It's streaming now.

Following a brief, soulful and heady intro from Badu, the roughly 30-minute mix offers up everything from Deerhoof's art rock to nuclear war-questioning Sun Ra Arkestra explorations to Bee Gees' slick, soft-disco hit "Love You Inside Out."

You can sample the eclectic offering, described as "a feel good high freaq mix," down below.
