I ran into Ian Bevis, lead singer of Vancouver's Bear Mountain, the other month in Vancouver and pretty much the first words out of my mouth were "WHEN does the new album come out!?".

Well we finally have an answer: Badu drops on September 9th this fall, and on top of that, we have a new single called "Give It Up".

I've played it on repeat since it came out this week and now am even more anxious for the new record. Have a listen below and mark your calendars.
