Hi, this is Pooja Patel, the editor-in-chief at Pitchfork.

We're taking a break this week and we'll be back with a new episode next week.

In the meantime, I wanted to share a clip from The Run Through with Vogue featuring The Great

Erica Badu.

Hosted by Choma Nadi and Chloe Mal, each episode of The Runthrough features conversations with

Vogue editors, creatives, and cover stars. In this clip, Badu shares her earliest musical memories,

talks about her love of mischief, and spills some tea on new music coming down the pipeline.

Check it out. And don't forget to follow and listen to the run-through with Vogue,

available wherever you get your podcasts.

I'd love for you to share with us a little bit about baby Erica when you, you know, when you were young and you learned to sing.

You shared a little bit with me about hearing music, but what were your first memories of making music?

My first memories are in church with my great-grandmother, the house that you were in.

She also lived there

and passed on there.

In Dallas.

In Dallas.

And my grandmother lived there and passed on there.

Wow.

Now my mother has inherited the position of the matriard of that house.

In that house, there was a grand piano or an upright piano,

and it belongs to my great-grandmother, Odessa.

And she played for a church.
