Title: Phenomenal - even without the bass Meshell is amazing!
Review: This CD defied my expectations. I've always loved Meshell because unlike most popular artists, she does it all - the writing, the playing and the singing. And being from Atlanta, where bass is a life essential, Meshell has always come correct with more bass than my speakers can stand. So you can imagine my surprise when "Fool of Me" started. Even without a heavy bass guitar, Ms. Ndegeocello is simply amazing. The minimalist tone of tracks, like "Fool of Me" and "Bitter," the layering of vocals in "Wasted Time" and "Satisfy" (my absolute favorite), and as always, her honest (almost eerily so) lyrics combine to make an incredible album that hasn't left my CD player in two weeks. Some of the tracks made me wonder - has she been in my head or what?! Everybody, no matter what your musical preferences, will get something phenomenal out of this album.
