Erykah Badu knows how to reach the people. As a singer, Badu has struck the hearts of many in three decades, with lyrics and sounds that touch the mind, heart, and soul of listeners. As a mixmaster, under the alter-ego DJ Lo Down Loretta Brown, Erykah does the same.

Giving Heads the following message, Ms. Badu assembles an 80-minute mix featuring tons of thinking-Soul music. Roy Ayers, James Brown, Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, The Sun-Ra Orchestra, and plenty of other slow, melodic, and always-pensive grooves can be heard as Fat Baby Bella gets to work on the sound selection, and setting a mood Heads can all hopefully grow from:

“ALL OVER THE GLOBE…KEEP WALKING TALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS. SOMEDAY WE WILL ALL BE FREE. THE WORLD IS IN NEED OF HEALING…. I CAREFULLY AND LOVINGLY SELECTED HIGH FREQUENCY TONES FOR THE SOUL…. PLEASE LISTEN FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. LOVE, ms. badu”
