The R&B/Hip-Hop crossover collab of the year is finally here.
Erykah Badu and The Alchemist announced they're co-headlining their ten-concert 'Luv Iz Tour' aka 'The Abi and Alan Tour' at theaters and music halls all over North America this August.
As of now, the sonically-gifted duo, who are touring together for the first time, unfortunately don't have any New York or New Jersey gigs lined up but will get close when they play Toronto's History on Friday, Aug. 15 and Silver Spring, MD's The Fillmore on Sunday, Aug. 17.

At all shows, the pair will likely debut tracks from their yet-to-be-released album, which is rumored to be titled 'Abi & Alan' like the tour. Although not much is known about the forthcoming record — Badu's first since 2010's 'New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh)' excluding her 2015 mixtape 'But You Caint Use My Phone' — a single has hit the airwaves. 'Next To You' combines the singer's famously lush vocal styling with a bass-y, Mobb Deep-sampling Alchemist beat.
Prior to the U.S. and Canada leg of the run, the twosome are playing a trio of concerts in Japan. Before that mini Japan jaunt, Badu took the stage at Dallas' Bomb Factory and performed a quick set on June 19. According to Set List FM, the brief spot included fan favorites like 'Didn't Cha Know,' 'On & On' and 'Appletree' from the reigning Queen of Neo-Soul.
Fans Baduists can purchase tickets for all upcoming Erykah Badu and The Alchemist shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for the 'Luv Iz Tour' is Friday, June 27.

Erykah Badu new music
On June 20, Badu and The Alchemist dropped 'Next To You,' the first single off the 'Abi & Alan' album.
A strummy backbeat gets the four-minute track underway. Just as you start nodding your head and settle in, Badu's hypnotic vocals kick in and the song lifts off. It's soul, it's Hip-Hop, it's R&B, it's trip hop, it's a little bit reggae and a whole lot of fun.
Make sure to stick around to the end, too. Around 2:40, the tune switches gears and goes into overdrive. It's a choice we call surprising yet inevitable and delectable.

Prep in your step: 10 perfect pieces for an effortless summer wardrobe
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. Once reserved for Ivy League legacies and summers on the Vineyard, preppy style has taken a fresh turn. For Gen Z (and the fashion-savvy among us), it's no longer just polos and pleated skirts — it's playful, pastel, and TikTok-approved. Think: tennis-core meets coquette-core with a side of vintage Ralph. At its roots, preppy fashion still channels that polished, East Coast ease — crisp collars, tailored shorts, and breezy button-downs that whispers old money energy. But in 2025, it's less about old rules and more about reimagining tradition with personality — and just the right amount of pink. So, whether you're heading to the Hamptons or just dressing like you are, we've rounded up 10 summer-perfect pieces that deliver on style, quality, and, yes, serious prep appeal. Trust me — you don't need a trust fund to dress like you have one. A crisp white button-down is the backbone of any preppy wardrobe — and this one from Old Navy is shockingly good Lightweight, tailored, and available in a rainbow of colors and patterns, it's the kind of versatile staple you'll wear on repeat. The Button-Down Shirt comes in regular, petite, and tall sizes — plus a range of fits from classic to slim — so you can style it oversized with bike shorts or tucked into a pleated mini for that ultra-clean, ultra-prep look. The white version is a best-seller (and for good reason — it nails that 'borrowed-from-my-boarding-school-boyfriend' energy), but we're also loving the playful stripes and pastel patterns for a more personality-packed twist. Oh — and it's on sale for $25. Total no-brainer. The Oaklynn Belted Mini Shirtdress from En Saison is your new summer MVP — perfect for everything from white parties to weekend wanderings Tailored yet playful, this dress features a crisp pleated skirt, chic gold buttons, and a subtle bow belt that cinches the waist just right. The clean, classic color keeps things fresh and effortlessly polished, making it equally office-appropriate or perfect for a long stroll through SoHo or the Upper East Side. It's the kind of dress that looks like you meant to dress up — but also like you didn't try too hard. Loafers are the ultimate preppy power move — and this pair from Vertundy delivers major old-money energy without the old-money price tag We all know the classic prep shoe is a clean white sneaker, but here's how you can level it up: With a sleek, low-heel silhouette and classic slip-on design, these black loafers are a wardrobe staple that can take you just about anywhere — from the office to dinner and a show, or from the Jitney straight onto a boat for happy hour. They're polished enough for a client meeting, but comfortable enough for a long city stroll (or a yacht deck, naturally). Go for the black for that timeless, East Coast boarding school vibe, or branch out with one of the other neutral or pastel shades — they pair effortlessly with every outfit on this list (and probably half the ones already in your closet). Timeless, versatile, and unapologetically prep — these are your go-to loafers for the season. For Love & Lemons always serves luxury-prep fantasy — and this flirty, feminine top fits the aesthetic and happens to be on sale With its delicate lace trim, subtle frills, and soft horizontal block stripes, this dreamy blouse feels like it was made for sipping something sparkling on a sailboat. The classic boat neckline and cap sleeves keep it polished, while a tiny bow detail seals the deal on peak preppy romance. It's equal parts Upper East Side tea party and French Riviera daydream — and yes, the price tag is as pretty as the top itself (for now). Scoop it up before it sets sail. Consider this our ode to the original prep-girl staple: the cropped pant These aren't your grandma's capris — but they are a nod to that timeless, flirty ankle moment. With a breezy, wide-leg silhouette, tailored front pockets, and a crisp cropped cut, they're made to show off your summer loafers, your favorite white sneakers, or just a touch more of that golden tan. Available in a range of inclusive fits, colors, and styles, these pants strike the perfect balance between classic and current. Dress them up with a structured blazer or down with a tucked-in tee — either way, they're the kind of elevated basic that makes your whole wardrobe feel more intentional. Chic, comfortable, and unapologetically prep — the perfect pair of jeans is always a smart investment. No preppy look is complete without the perfect carry-all — and this quilted BAGSMART tote nails the assignment. Whether you're trekking to a friend's place, catching a train out East, or just pretending your iced latte is headed to the Hamptons, this Lightweight Puffy Tote delivers on both style and practicality. With its pillowy quilting and clean silhouette, it leans into that effortless, quiet luxury look that's dominating prep-adjacent trends right now. Inside, it's all function: multiple compartments (yes, it fits a full-sized laptop), zip pockets for your essentials, and just enough room for a book, sunscreen, and an emergency sweater — aka your summer survival kit. It's polished enough to take to work, relaxed enough for weekend escapes, and totally on-theme with today's updated prep: crisp, classic, and intentionally unfussy. Of course, we couldn't leave off another lululemon gem — because sometimes, prep meets athleisure just right This dress is the ultimate summer staple: a sleek high-neck silhouette crafted from the famously buttery-soft Align fabric you already know and love. It's perfect for all your tennis whites moments — even if your only match is a brunch date. Bonus: it also comes in black for that Pilates-princess-meets-prep vibe that's both sophisticated and sporty. AND — wait for it — it's on sale. Yes, lululemon on sale. Pinch yourself. Need a little more support? No worries. The Wunder Under Smoothcover Dress offers the same luxe material in a similarly chic cut with extra hold, so you can prep up with confidence, no matter your play. Pajama sets are having a major moment — and honestly, why wouldn't you want to look put-together even while you sleep? These affordable Amazon finds are perfect for adding a little preppy polish to your nighttime routine. The lightweight, breathable fabric keeps you cool during steamy summer nights, while the matching sets give you that main character energy from the second you crawl into bed to the moment you reach for your iced coffee. With tons of patterns — think florals, gingham, animal print, and beyond — you can find the perfect vibe to match your personality (or your Pinterest board). Prep never sleeps — and now, you won't have to sacrifice style when you do either. Yes, it's hot. Yes, this trench will probably sit pretty in your closet until fall. But at 60% off? It's a no-brainer This classic, Ivy-inspired trench coat is the definition of timeless prep — crisp lines, a neutral palette, and that effortlessly polished silhouette that never goes out of style. It's the kind of piece that elevates anything you throw on underneath, from tailored trousers to tennis skirts and crewnecks. Preppy girls layer, too — and this is the piece that will carry your look seamlessly from summer storms to crisp fall mornings. Get it now, thank yourself later. You don't need old money to master timeless style. Whether you're channeling tennis-core charm or leaning into old-school East Coast polish, today's preppy style is all about mixing tradition with a twist. From bow-detailed tanks to breezy shirtdresses and yacht-ready stripes, these ten pieces prove you don't need a country club membership to master the look. So go ahead — embrace the pastels, lean into the polish, and dress like your summer itinerary includes at least one lobster roll in the Hamptons.

On Running Just Marked Down 12 Best-selling Styles in an Early Fourth of July Sale—Save Up to 40% Right Now
As someone who's spent a majority of her career writing about health and fitness, I know a thing or two about what makes a good sneaker. It all comes down to design, which is something On has mastered. From their cushiony midsoles to grippy outsoles, all On sneakers are built to be supportive and stable, and more importantly, to feel comfortable. They quite literally do make you feel like you're walking on a cloud, which makes them ideal for long travel days or trips where you'll be getting a lot of movement in. Some On shoes can be quite a splurge, though, which is why we're excited about On's early Fourth of July sale where you can grab some of the brand's bestsellers for up to 40 percent off. From hiking shoes to walking shoes, there are a ton of discounts on top-rated styles across Zappos, REI, and the sneaker brand's website. If you're looking for comfy sneakers that won't clash with your trip 'fits, I've got you covered. Here are the 12 best On shoe deals right now. $170 $128 at Zappos $170 $135 at If you love a bouncy shoe, you'll be a fan of the Cloudmonster's forward-rolling sole. The sneaker is one of On's most cushioned shoes, and is designed with a rocker shape that delivers energy return with each step (a springiness that lets you go longer before feeling fatigued while running). Despite its thick, cushioned sole, the sneaker is light and breathable with a soft sockliner that makes it comfy to wear on daily runs or long travel days. The Cloudmonster is a solid shoe, whether you prefer running slow or fast, since its proprietary CloudTec cushioning helps propel you forward with each step. $160 $120 at REI $160 $110 at Designed with a similar cushioned design as the Cloudmonster, but made for the trails, the Cloudsurfer Trail can handle all the terrain you'll be encountering on your next adventure. Its grippy sole offers traction and durability on both wet and dry surfaces, allowing you to run with more confidence, even during rainy weather. The sneaker's 'Helion' superfoam midsole also delivers shock absorption, keeping your feet comfortable through the duration of your run. Its flexible, soft-mesh upper also makes it a breathable and lightweight option that helps keep your feet in a natural path of motion (it won't feel like you're dragging your feet towards their next step). $160 $120 at Zappos $160 $110 at Perfect for running through the terminal to catch your next flight, On's Cloudnova 2 delivers a smooth ride, thanks to its wide middle bootie and stable heel pillow. These allow the sneaker to feel comfortable for longer periods of time, and help you move faster, too. The shoe never feels too stiff, either. That's because it's designed with On's Speedboard, a supportive and flexible plate in the midsole that delivers energy return and better speed. Right now, these sneakers are at the lowest price they've been in 30 days. One of On's bestsellers, the Cloudstratus 3, is more cushiony and comfortable than its predecessors. A great option for walking tours or trips where you'll be racking up your steps, its foam midsole allows for plush landings, and its collar and tongue design provide all-day comfort. The sneakers are also made with a rubber outsole that allows the shoe to remain grippy on all surfaces, a plus if you're traversing through shiny museum floors or wet city streets. Currently down 40 percent, this is one of the best deals on this list. If you never skip a training day, even while traveling, the On Cloudpulse is a great sneaker to pack along with your other trip essentials. It's designed with a Speedboard that's thick in the middle and thinner in the front. This keeps the shoe flexible but supportive enough to offer stability during HIIT workouts and circuit training. Its sweat-wicking mesh upper keeps airflow going, so your feet don't overheat during tough workouts. Even better, despite being so supportive, the shoe is a lightweight option perfect for cardio and sprints, too. Designed with a sleeker silhouette than some of On's other shoes, the Cloud X 4 AD is a great option for pairing with your casual vacation outfits, including those cute summer dresses, but you can take them to the gym, too. The sneaker's star-shaped lacing keeps it secure on your feet, and its roomy toe box and breathable mesh upper keep it comfy and dry all day. The white colorway option can make a great addition to your arsenal of white sneakers. Whether you're training for your next race or plan on running to make tight connections, the Cloudsurfer Next can help get you there faster. The lightweight and cushioned shoe is designed with a rocker shape silhouette that propels you forward with less effort. Its flexible midsole collapses with every step, making for smooth heel-to-toe transitions. You'll also love that the shoe provides great traction. The rubber pads on its outsole makes the sneaker super grippy no matter how fast you're moving. The Cloudsurfer Next is also at the lowest price it's been in 30 days. $170 $127 at REI $170 $100 at Made to tackle moderate terrain and perfect for long walks, the On Cloudhorizon shoe is designed with a pillowy, plush feel that makes it comfy for extended wear. The sneakers are made with On's CloudTec Phase, which reduces foot fatigue by making weight transfer from heel to toe a lot smoother. Its Missiongrip rubber outsole can also handle wet and dry surfaces, so that you feel secure even in wet weather. Best of all, the shoe is both supportive and durable, so its construction remains intact no matter how often you pack it. Designed for walking, On's Cloudtilt sneaker is the perfect everyday walking shoe. It's designed with an elastic lacing system, which allows you to simply slip these on, though you can toy around with the laces to get a tighter fit, if needed. The shoe's ultra-cushioned midsole prevents hard landings and makes energy return a priority, keeping foot fatigue at bay for longer. It's the perfect shoe for city adventures or long days on your feet. The Cloudswift 3 is designed to be comfy on an array of foot shapes. Its forward-rolling design delivers energy return to make it easier to move forward. Though cushioned, this shoe is a little stiffer than other options on the list, but it provides a comfortable and secure fit. Its stiffer fit makes it a lot more stable, though, so it's a great everyday choice for those looking for a more supportive shoe. You can wear this one on your runs, too, since the rocker-shaped forefront can help you move faster. If you're looking for a shoe that can do it all, the On Cloudpulse is your perfect fit. Just like the men's option, the women's Cloudpulse is a light and bouncy shoe that'll keep your feet supported through everything from walking to weightlifting. It's made with a reinforced mesh upper that gives the shoe structure and stability, while keeping it breathable. Plus, at least 20 percent of the shoe is made from recycled material, so this shoe gets a few bonus points for keeping sustainability in mind, too. While the On The Roger Advantage 1 shoes are technically made for tennis, the tenniscore fashion trend is still a thing, making this pair a stylish choice whether you plan on playing a match or not. They're made with thick soles and repositioned grooves that make the shoe flexible, meaning they bend along with your feet. The forefront of the shoe is also made with extra cushioning to keep it comfortable on long walks and beyond. Its polished look will make it a good complement to your vacation wardrobe.

Mariska Hargitay explores mom's life in ‘My Mom Jayne' — Here's how to watch
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. 'Law & Order SVU' star Mariska Hargitay is making her feature directorial debut with a film about a subject close to her heart: her mother. That film, 'My Mom Jayne,' premieres tonight, June 27, on HBO and Max. Hargitay is the daughter of actress Jayne Mansfield, who died at the age of 34 in a 1967 car accident when Hargitay, who was also in the car, was just three years old. The film, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year before a Tribeca debut in the United States, is the first time Hargitay delves into her late mother's life story to discover the woman behind the blonde bombshell facade and examines her lasting legacy. 'My mom jayne': what to know When: June 27, 8 p.m. ET June 27, 8 p.m. ET Channel: HBO HBO Streaming: Max Hargitay's siblings Jayne Marie Mansfield, Mickey Hargitay Jr., Zoltan Hargitay, and Tony Cimber are among the people Hargitay interviewed for the documentary, in which she also reveals a secret she has held onto for 36 years: the man who raised her, bodybuilder Mickey Hargitay, is not her biological father, but Nelson Sardelli, a Las Vegas showman who had a brief affair with Mansfield, is. In an HBO press release, Hargitay said the film is 'a search for the mother I never knew, an integration of a part of myself I'd never owned, and a reclaiming of my mother's story and my own truth.' 'My Mom Jayne' release date and time: 'My Mom Jayne' will be released June 27 at 8 p.m. ET on the HBO cable channel. It will begin streaming on Max at the same time. Where to watch 'My Mom Jayne': If you don't get HBO through cable, you can watch 'My Mom Jayne' on the Max streaming service. Max is available to subscribe to via Prime Video starting at $9.99/month with ads. It costs $16.99/month if you want to go ad-free. That's not the only way to subscribe, though. Sling TV offers some of the best value for money among live tv streaming services, thanks to some great offers. You'll need Sling's Blue plan with a Max add-on to watch HBO live (and you can still stream on-demand with Max). Plus, when you subscribe to Max through Sling, the money-saving never stops!
