In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal regarding her performance at Rock the Bells 2011, Erykah Badu seems to have inadvertently dropped us a hint about a collaboration with the Gorillaz.
The exact quote reads:
I’m making an album right now with a guy named Flying Lotus. I’m working on a project with The Gorillaz. I’m always doing something. It doesn’t always make headlines, but I’m always making art – always. I deliver babies. That’s what I do – that’s the art that I’m focusing on right now for the most part. I’m a midwife.
Sandwiched between highly distracting comments about her recent forays as a midwife, the comment was not elaborated upon by either Badu or the reporter, so the exact nature of the collaboration remains a mystery. Nevertheless, the possibility is intriguing.
