Abi is Badu. Alan is The Alchemist. Recorded over 18 months in Dallas and Los Angeles, the album is the inevitable collision of two iconoclasts - hypnotic, funny, blunt, deeply personal, and impossible to categorize neatly. Meditative and fluid, \"Before The World Blows\" finds Badu contemplating which parts of ourselves and our stories are worth protecting before the world breaks and fragments. Love, innocence, dreams, memories, womanhood. The album unfolds in four movements, charting the progression of self through the prisms of love, art, and identity, inviting us to sit with difficult feelings. Passion blurs with desire, hope with grief, each song revealing another illuminating facet of the inner Baduverse. Before the world blows, it's worth it to keep exploring. To have one more kiss. Before the world blows, it's worth it to get to know thyself.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eArtist\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eErykah Badu  \u0026amp; The Alchemist\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eAlbum\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eBefore the World Blows\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eYear\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e2026\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eFormat\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eNeon Orange Vinyl, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e2 xLP, Album \u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e**THIS IS A PRE-ORDER**\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003ePre-orders once submitted are NOT eligible for refund.
