    "RAW"

    By DNICE  May 4, 2005

    Pros: "RAW"

    Cons: NONE

    I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT LAST REVIEW WAS SAYING CAUSE IT WAS IN FRENCH AND I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND A WORD I WAS READING,HOWEVER LET ME TRANSLATE WHAT THEY SAID..."SIMPLY RAW"!!!!!! NO OTHER WORDS WHETHER IN ENGLISH,SPANISH OR FROM MARS ...CAN EXPLAIN THE RAW TALENT OF THE GIFTED FEMALE MUSICIAN. FROM TRACK '1' TO THE VERY END WILL HAVE YOU BLOWN AWAY,ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE A MUSICIAN,SUCH AS MYSELF!!! ME'SHELL IS AS 'RAW' ON THIS PROJECT AS "PRINCE" WAS WHEN HE FIRST CAME ON THE SCENE!!! BUT SHE TAKES A HARD FALL ON THE NEXT FEW PROJECTS,SO DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. BUT THEN GO PASS THOSE STRAIGHT TO HER "COOKIE-MIXTAPE"
    ; (2002)CD AND YOU'LL GET 'PART 2'OF THIS PROJECT HERE. THIS IS A COLLECTORS ITEM WORTH EVERY CENT YOU PAID FOR IT!!! UNLESS YOU STOLE IT...!!!!

Pro Reviews: Plantation Lullabies

  • All Music Guide

    Me'Shell NdegéOcello's debut album twists and turns through so many genres -- RB, pop, jazz, hip-hop -- that it's hard to put a finger on just where she wants to take its 13 songs. That she also spins conventional racial and sexual identity here makes Plantation Lullabies an occasionally overwhelming -- as well as a vibrantly sophisticated -- listen. Ndegeocello defies labels throughout, tagging her slinking and crawling songs with a rubbery flow that's just as rooted in '70s funky soul as it is in '90s hip-hop culture. The best songs here -- "If That's Your Boyfriend (He Wasn't Last Night)," "Dred Loc," and "Outside Your Door" -- work their way into their grooves with a seamless, and almost uniform, bounce. It can be a bit derivative (for all of NdegéOcello's genre-crossing, she always seems to go back to the same musical blueprint), but most of the time it's just about as boundary-busting and as affecting as '90s RB gets.

Biography

Me'Shell Ndegéocello

Although Me'Shell NdegéOcello scored a few hits early in her career, the singer/bassist opted to concentrate subsequently on more challenging material by exploring the politics of race and sex, among other topics. Born Mary Johnson in 1969 and spending the first few years of her life in Germany (her father was both a military man and a jazz saxophonist), NdegéOcello a... Read more
