      *Erykah Badu will promote her album "New Amerykah Part I (4th World War)" with the launch of a 12-week, 49-city outing titled "The Vortex Tour," which begins May 4 in Detroit and ends June 15 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.         

       The tour is named for the swirling centers of subtle energy coming out from the surface of the earth, says Badu.       

       “Most of the shows are in or near cities with naturally strong energy fields, and if they’re not, we’re going to create them with the music,” she explains.        

       Appropriately, the Philly-based band The Roots will be the opening act for many of the dates, promoting their new album "Rising Down." Badu, who has collaborated with The Roots in the past, features The Roots drummer Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson on several "New Amerykah" tracks.
