Meshell Ndegeocello Latest Release - Devil's Halo [Vinyl]

2009: Devil's Halo (Downtown)

2009 release, the acclaimed musician's eighth solo release. Devil's Halo harkens back to the way records used to be made: no click, live band energy, and phenomenal musicianship. Influenced by a breadth of sounds, from The Human League to Wu Tang to Yes, Devil's Halo displays Meshell's own diversity of formidable gifts. Always the uncompromising artist and bass player, this record brings a broad range of musical and lyrical voices and selves: the searcher, the skeptic, the dissenter, and the lover. True to form, Meshell offers compositions with raging climaxes alongside moments of terrifying tenderness and honesty. Genre-defiant as ever, Devil's Halo asks for the real fans of exploration to please stand up. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
