Abi & Alan - a playful nod to Erykah Badu's birth name, Erica Abi Wright, and The Alchemist's given name, Alan Maman - brings together two of music's most creative forces in an unexpected collaboration. The project reveals new sides of both artists. While The Alchemist has spent decades crafting atmospheric beats for everyone from Nas and Eminem to Mobb Deep and Earl Sweatshirt, earning Grammy nominations along the way, the album showcases Badu stepping fully into her role as sonic architect - writing, composing, arranging, and producing alongside his signature soundscapes. It's a meeting of minds that highlights how two seasoned artists can still surprise each other and their audiences.
