Our Take

In a world of cookie-cutter pop stars and manufactured beats, MesheII Ndegeocello stands out like a sparkling diamond in a sea of cubic zirconia. Her latest offering, The Omnichord Real Book, is a mesmerising journey through the realms of funk, soul, and jazz, all wrapped up in her signature cool and laid-back style.

From the moment the first notes of "Love Song #3" hit your ears, you know you're in for a musical treat. MesheII's silky-smooth vocals glide effortlessly over the intricate melodies, taking you on a sonic adventure that is equal parts soothing and invigorating. The addition of the omnichord, an electronic instrument that produces ethereal sounds reminiscent of a harp, adds an otherworldly dimension to the already mesmerising tracks.

Tracks like "Funky Dream" and "Soul Searcher" showcase MesheII's unparalleled talent for blending genres and pushing musical boundaries. Her fearless approach to music is refreshing in a world that often plays it safe, and it's clear that she's not afraid to take risks and experiment with new sounds.

Overall, The Omnichord Real Book is a masterclass in musical expression, a testament to MesheII Ndegeocello's extraordinary talent and creativity. If you're looking for an album that will transport you to another world and leave you craving more, look no further than this gem of a record. MesheII Ndegeocello is a true musical genius, and The Omnichord Real Book is a shining example of her brilliance.

About the artist

Meshell N'Decechello

Meschell Ndegeocello is a modern-day musical chameleon, effortlessly blending genres like R&B, soul, and funk with her unique sense of artistry. Born Michelle Lynn Johnson (but really, who wouldn't change their name to something that cool?), this Grammy-nominated artist has been making waves in the music industry since the early 90s. With a discography that reads like a roadmap through the evolution of contemporary music, Ndegeocello has consistently pushed boundaries and defied categorization. From her debut album "Plantation Lullabies" to her more recent work like "Ventriloquism," she has continued to surprise and delight listeners with her eclectic sound and thoughtful lyrics. But what really sets Ndegeocello apart is her live performances. Fusing elements of jazz, rock, and hip-hop, she commands the stage with a raw energy that is as captivating as it is infectious. Whether she's performing in a small, intimate venue or headlining a massive festival, Ndegeocello never fails to leave her audience spellbound. But beyond her musical prowess, Ndegeocello is also a trailblazer in the industry. As an openly queer woman of colour, she has used her platform to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and social justice issues. In a world where many musicians shy away from politics, Ndegeocello fearlessly speaks out against injustice and inequality. In a musical landscape dominated by cookie-cutter pop stars and manufactured personas, Meschell Ndegeocello stands out as a true original. With a voice that is as powerful as it is emotive, she continues to defy expectations and challenge conventions. Simply put, she is a force to be reckoned with – and we're all lucky to be along for the ride.
