COOKIE: THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL ALBUM was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary R&B Album.

Me'Shell Ndegeocello's fourth solo outing comes from an artist whose work is nothing short of visionary. Considering that COOKIE was shelved for a period before being released, the set nevertheless sounds as fresh and contemporary as anything currently being pumped out of the urban music scene. Ndegeocello continues her amalgam of bass-driven jazzy R&B, funk, and hip-hop, adding in occasional world music touches (as with the Indian-influenced outro in "Trust").

"Priorities 1-6" smoothly captures a Maxwell vibe, while both "Earth" and "Barry Farms" jam on slinky Prince-like grooves, replete with sexually charged lyrics. As physical as Me'Shell's lyrical focus gets, it holds equal court with social, spiritual, and political statements. In the opening cut, "Dead Nigga Blvd. Pt. 1," she sings, "Just because civil rights is law doesn't mean that we all abide." COOKIE also has an eclectic ensemble of guests. Caron Wheeler lends her soulful voice to the jazzy "Criterion," fellow four-stringer Marcus Miller weighs in on Funkadelic's "Better By The Pound," while the remix of "Pocketbook" boasts a who's who collaboration of heavy hitters including Rockwilder, Tweet, Redman, and Missy Elliot.
