OK, I know I have in the past been the representation for the
Meshell Ndegeoccelo fan club on this list, but I am kind of
surprised that two weeks have gone by and no-one else has mentioned
that "Cookie" has finally hit the shops. And it is funky as hell.
None of that "Bitter" coffee-table Craig Street production either.
Lots of interesting stuff going on at the bottom end, and the drum
programming is also a step up from previous releases. Meshell or
Allen Cato (her producer on this one) has probably been listening
to Timbaland but in this cause you have the Meshell mark of quality
and don't have to sit through the Tim/Missy/Escalade-driving
nonsense to get to the good bits.
Oh, anyway... I'm having a hard time placing "Cookie" within an
absolute scale of Meshell's best work, but I can tell you I am
feeling it bigtime. Listen to "Priorities 1-6", "Earth" or
"Jabril". How can you not be feeling stuff like this?
..Mark..
