Me'Shell NdegeOcello Artist Snapshot:

Me'Shell NdegeOcello got her start in Washington, D.C.'s famed go-go music scene as a funk bass player extraordinaire. Her melodic, muscular playing lent itself fluidly to the all the pertinent styles of the late 1980s: dance music, hip-hop, smooth jazz, rock. After gigging with many groups, her naturally commanding stage presence took over and she became known more as a front person than a player, releasing her first solo album in 1994 to universal acclaim from both the R&B and rock communities. She continues to write, record, and perform as a solo artist and as a guest player for artists as diverse as Chocolate Genius, the Rolling Stones, and John Mellencamp.

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."

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.
