The eternal return of the sidereal groove high priestess. Soul, electro, hip-hop and even reggae: she does everything unlike anyone else. Her latest album Comet, Come to Me begins with a soul cover, sweet and stellar of a 1980s hip-hop standard, Friends of Whodini. One way to remember that Meshell Ndegeocello masters all the nuances of the Great Black Music grammar. And even more so because this great fan of Prince, Miles Davis and Nina Simone can marry melancholic r’n’b before turning towards cosmic folk, acoustic drum’n’bass or sensual rock.
