Erykah Badu – HuffPost 6.3.11

Mike Ragogna: That’s what I’ve been told. What advice do you have for new artists?

Erykah Badu: Follow your heart.

MR: Of course, but there’s so much out there that’s distracting and can pull you off course, isn’t there? I mean, even following the news…

EB: …just follow your heart. If you’re “distracted” by the news, then that’s what you need to write about. Whatever it is, there’s no good or bad, it’s just following your heart because it never fails you. It usually gets you to the place that you need to be, whether that’s a big platform or a small one.
