Erykah Badu & The Alchemist - Before the World Blows - orange vinyl 2LP

The Alchemist teams up with Erykah Badu on album Before the World Blows, out on Neon orange vinyl 2LP, in December 2026 and available to order from Mint and Sealed.

In the eleven years since her last project, Erykah Badu has gathered not conclusions but a series of existential insights. Before the World Blows: The Abi and Alan Experiment exists within the tension between introspection and growth. Abi is Badu. Alan is The Alchemist. Recorded over 18 months in Dallas and Los Angeles, the album is the inevitable collision of two iconoclasts—hypnotic, funny, blunt, deeply personal, and impossible to categorize neatly.
