The 50-year-old Texan was ensconced in the sort of glittery multicolored cape that Apollo Creed might have worn if he’d represented Earth in its first intergalactic boxing match, clashing perfectly with her baseball cap on top of a knotted bandana. (Though she did give us a great, if discursive, if brief, performance at Soundset in 2018.) What’s the rush?Īnd then: Badu. Well, we’d already waited 20 years since Badu’s last headlining show in the Twin Cities. After a recorded Badu voiceover informed us how cellphone signals disorient bees, which convinced everyone in the room to stop filming and photographing the stage (haha, just kidding, of course not), a full band jam split the difference between hyping the star-to-come and vamping till she was ready. It was 9:15, more than an hour later than the visionary soul eccentric (or vice versa) was scheduled to appear onstage at the Armory, when her band members took their places and two drummers welcomed us with competing solos. Erykah Badu will make you wait just to prove she’s worth it.
