Erykah Badu With Janelle Monáe
Tuesday, August 4 2009
The Beach at Governors Island, New York NY

event description
4-time Grammy award-winning singer/songwriter Erykah Badu will perform at the beach at Governors Island on her 4th World War tour.
When an artist so thoroughly changes the rules that she makes it hard to remember what it was like before she was on the scene, it's safe to say that she can be called "definitive." Erykah Badu fuses the jazz, R&B an hip-hop influences of a lifetime, and does so not only with her voice, but with many talents: writing, producing, directing, poetry, dance, drama, and visual arts. Erykah returns with the follow up to New Amerykah Part One (4th World War), New Amerykah, Part II (Return Of The Ankh), out by the end of the year.
Renegade, innovator, modernizer, leading light and Grammy Award nominee for "Best Urban Performance" - in such a short amount of time, Janelle Monáe has grown from a singer into a phenomenon. Launching under the tutelage of Diamond-certified duo, Andre 3000 and Big Boi - now more than ever, the eyes of the world are on her. Her highly anticipated album Metropolis, out this spring on Bad Boy Records, incorporates elements of electronica, hip hop, rock and soul.
Janelle Monáe’s live show mesmerizes crowds with her incredible voice, innovative dancing and stage antics, including crowd surfing, throwing her saddle shoes into the crowd and jumping into swimming pools.
