We've all been expecting (dreaming about) a new Erykah Badu release this year but as the ubiquitous Souleo just reported in Sister2Sister magazine, Mizz Badoula Oblongata has confirmed she'll be birthing not one but TWO LPs in 2012; a solo album and a project with her Tx-based collective The Cannabinoids. Find the relevant quotes below and read the full piece at S2S.

* On the Cannabinoids:

We are about impromptu performing and we are in the studio trying to recreate something we did on the spot and that’s fun. Our theme is welcome to the human brain and science of addiction. We want you to become addicted to that...

* On producing her new LP with digital tools (while touring 8 mos/year):

I am still analog girl but I can swim in the digital world. I prefer analog songs so before everything is pressed to wax or digitized it goes back to the tape. So it’s well balanced at this point.
