Meshell Ndegeocello – Synonym (CD)

Meshell Ndegeocello has spent three decades reshaping what bass-driven music can mean, moving fluidly between funk, soul, folk, and avant-garde jazz while never losing her singular voice. Synonym continues her deep engagement with interpretation and collaboration, a practice she's refined across projects that reexamine Black musical tradition and queer identity with equal rigor. The guest list here reads like a constellation of artists who, like Ndegeocello herself, resist easy categorization.
