It's supposed to be Meshell Ndegeocello's last album under this logo, she says. In her career so far she has not only achieved everything, but also covered almost every genre from HipHop to Alternative Rock to Freejazz. On her new CD she tries to combine all these moments together with electronic music, African aspects, Seventies-Soul, discreet fusion and all possible other sound pixels to a panorama mosaic. Each song contains the material for an entire album. The term "pop music" no longer applies here, "Comet Come To Me" is an example of extraordinarily concentrated sound art. The busy singer, songwriter, bassist and producer has run a little arbitrary on her previous work, now she's back on top form again. What is particularly impressive is the serenity with which she composes the mass of sound information. The plate acts like a pleasant breath massaging the auditory membrane. From now on Ndegeocello wants to work exclusively as a jazz producer. It will be interesting to see what she takes with her from this journey to her new home.
