“Cry like a baby that’s been snatched away…”

[talktooloose]

I’m listening for the millionth time to Me’shell Ndegéocello’s album, “Cookie: the Anthropological Mixtape” and I’m again blown away on so many levels. It is such a magnificent balance of the intellectual and the sensual. It is her most radically political album as well as her most graphically and intrinsically sexual. It ranges from intense R&B hip-hop to richly, spare poetic tracks. And I’m learning so much about space in her mixes.
