Even more good concert news after Monday's announcement that Kendrick Lamar will stop at the Sunlight Supply Amphitheater in Ridgefield on his "TDE: The Championship Tour" this May: the iconic Erykah Badu is playing this year's Soul'd Out Music Festival, which draws some of the world's best R&B, soul, and blues musicians to Portland each spring.

It's been nearly a decade since she released her last studio album, New Amerykah Part Two; her most recent release was the dreamy 2015 mixtape But You Caint Use My Phone (if you haven't heard her cover of Drake's "Hotline Bling," reimagined as "Cel U Lar Device," please stop and listen below immediately). Badu's making headlines for another reason this morning: In a provocative interview with Vulture, the self-described empath claims she's able to see the good in all people, even Hitler.

Badu will play the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall Wednesday, April 18. Tickets go on sale Friday morning, and the full Soul'd Out 2018 lineup will be announced sometime next week.
