Paris has a particularly unusual appeal for artists in any number of mediums, with a population that is very cosmopolitan, worldly, and critical. In many respects, Paris has historically been the center of world culture in many epochs, and many different art movements. Today, there is still a lively atmosphere that’s infused with both past and present, and this makes it a city worth visiting more than once in a lifetime. Thankfully, the hotels in Paris do live up to the most romantic expectations, and the city’s sights are as breath-taking as one could imagine.
In terms of musical artists, the taste is exquisite, and one of the wonders of the world would be to see a favorite artist play here. Later this summer, music lovers will get an amazing opportunity to hear some phenomenal sounds in the city as Erykah Badu plays Paris . The city has a certain love for the eclectic, the bold, and daring, and the sensual, and she is all that, and a bag of chips.
Her new album, New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh, is a continuation of her lifelong experiment in being Erykah Badu. This album is a mix of all the styles she’s been pushing toward since the birth of Seven, and is also, at the same time, a recapturing of some of the more classic elements of her work. It’s a perfect moment for her to play Olympia Bruno , and not only because it’s a perfect venue for an international star who needs a lot of room for her fans.
It’s also a moment to be marked, and the venue is auspicious for her. There is a harmony in the location that blends with her own particular spiritual outlook, and it’s one that’s certainly present in the music. She takes turns, and heads down long tangents that sometimes appear to be fruitless, only to reveal at the 11th hour, there is a scheme behind it. Or, at the very least, some kind intelligence, giving her work equal portions of honey and urgency.
