Frustrated Artist Tour


The Frustrated Artist Tour is a club and theater tour by American R&B singer Erykah Badu. During the summer of 2002, Badu at the time was getting writer's block from penning songs for her album Worldwide Underground. Hoping to find inspiration, she set out on a 2-month trek of theaters and small clubs, with additional dates added through the summer until December. During this tour, Erykah had the chance to showcase new songs from the album, "Danger", "I Want You", "Woo" and "Back in the Day ". A new song "Dear Misery" was performed well as hits.
Badu's show featured a DJ, laser lights, and audience participation as Erykah would perform songs requested from the audience. Badu would often stage dive into the audience, and singer Zap Mama would appear on select dates as a featured guest.
