Hm... it is pretty dark. Not what I was expecting, but might work in
the long run I guess.

Meshell sings (and plays?) on one of my old favourites Scritti
Politti's new album "Anomie & Bonhomie". Pretty nice as an album I
think.

Last week I saw the Brand New Heavies live in Stockholm. Carleen on
vocals of course.
Her voice didn't really suit those old BNH hits and it did sound
a bit unnatural at times. Her vocal range is a lot lower than N'Dea's.
But it was an alright concert and Kinkaid sang too. He should do that
more.
