In January, Badu released a 25th anniversary reissue of her sophomore classic Mama’s Gun. Last year, she teased her first studio album since 2010, Abi & Alan, produced entirely by The Alchemist. The first single, “Next to You,” was released in June 2025, but the project missed its original August 29th release date and has yet to arrive.
It is worth noting, however, that Badu and The Alchemist previewed the album while on the road last year, and this upcoming tour could be a sign that the project is closer to seeing the light of day.
