Meshell Ndegeocello – Weather

48 minutes a 2 seconds isn’t a long time up against the whole of eternity, right? So spend this meager amount of time listening to something utterly languid, beautiful and choke full of soul. This is Meshell Ndegeocello exploring a gentler side to music making, and it’s mostly uncharted territory for her. That’s saying something for an artist who in her past has portrayed a “brasher” type of music (Go back to Plantation Lullabies in 1993, you’ll love it). Ms. Ndegeocello has released numerous albums, played for the Rolling Stones and Madonna, etc. Yet, because of her notorious work effort she isn’t resting on her laurels, instead she’s doing what she loves to do and that’s make gorgeous music. The new album Weather is due for a November 8th release, so cop it, spin it and enjoy. It’ll be 48 minutes and 2 seconds of total bliss. Peace.
