Review

Rolling Stone (11/13/03, p.97) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...This time, her introspective lyrics are backed by seductive reggae-infused grooves....[She] definitely ups the ante in the erotic department: A lot of self-proclaimed pimps of hip-hop wish they could mack as hard as she does here."
Entertainment Weekly (10/17/03, p.82) - "...COMFORT WOMAN is pure bliss. Dreamy, dub-inspired melodies, sparse guitar licks, and her hypnotic voice singing simple songs of love make this her first "feel good" album." - Rating: B+
Uncut (1/04, p.116) - 3 stars out of 5 - "COMFORT WOMAN is, loosely, her LET'S GET IT ON - a sensual, sumptuous overload....At it's best, it's a blissful surge."' Mojo (1/04, p.102) - 4 stars out of 5 - "COMFORT WOMAN is a single-minded declaration of love, permeated with heavy reggae, scuffed psychedelic soul and raging guitar feedback....Ndegeocello may yet prove to be the future of modern soul."

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.

Listening to the moody, decidedly non-commercial COMFORT WOMAN, it's difficult to believe that a decade earlier Me'Shell NdegeOcello was dueting with John Mellencamp on a hit cover of a Van Morrison song. Though she connected with the mainstream straight out of the gate, NdegeOcello has been drifting ever further toward her own personal vision ever since. That vision has probably never been as fully realized before; COMFORT WOMAN achieves something like the creation of a new, distinctive paradigm, mixing dub reggae, trip-hop, R&B, and sheer experimentalism into a seamless whole.

This album is very much of a piece; nearly every track is in a down-tempo, atmospheric mode, with snaky, effects-laden guitars and icy layers of keyboards that float hypnotically atop a subtly percolating, slow-burn bass/drums groove. Occasionally a guest will pop up and stir things up, like when Doyle Bramhall's guitar explodes into "Liliquoi Moon," but NdegeOcello plays the lion's share of the instruments here, and COMFORT WOMAN sticks closely to her understated, unconventional MO throughout.
