Erykah Badu and The Alchemist have revealed the full details of their joint album.

Recorded and co-produced by the pair in Dallas and Los Angeles over the last 18 months, the long-awaited 'Before the World Blows: The Abi and Alan Experiment' was revealed cryptically through posters in Sydney, Melbourne, London, Paris and New York that read "One More Song..." and included a code leading to a website where fans could solve clues to reveal the title.

The album is set for release this Friday (August 28) and will include the recent single Witch Doctor, which now has a Badu-directed video that serves as a sequel to her controversial 2010 promo for Window Seat, as well as last year's Next To You, now retitled Next 2 U according to its current Apple Music listing.

The pair have also revealed the album's special guests, including Steve Lacy, Thundercat, Earl Sweatshirt, Kamasi Washington, Westside Gunn and DRAM. Check out the full 16-song tracklist below.

Badu and The Alchemist, aka Alan Maman, will tour North America together next month, with De La Soul and Smino also performing on select dates. Badu will also bring her IMEHO: An Intimate Experience show to new venue Blue Note London in November. Tickets are on sale.
