Music Reviews of Comfort Woman (Mcup)Music Review: horrible singer Rating: 1 Stars
All I know is that this girl stunk up the Motown songs she sang on "Standing in the Shadows of Motown". She almost singlehandedly ruined the entire movie (and that is saying alot, because it is damn good). Thankfully, Gerald Levert more than offset her pathetic performances. She also came off as clueless when it came to classic soul. And wearing the sunglasses and the skull cap indoors during interviews and the concert. Pathetic. If she had talent, she wouldn't have to rely on "style" to simulate coolness.
Music Review: One of The Original Neo-Soul Artist Rating: 5 Stars
I must be the only person in the world who did not like the "Bitter" cd. It was pitiful. I would hate to meet the person who broke her heart when she wrote that album. And "Cookie" sucked too. Except for one song "Pocketbook". But I really feel like my girl is back to her slammin' ole self with this one. I loved every song on her albums Plantation Lullabies" and "Peace Beyond Passion" and this cd is no different. Every song is the bomb. MAN THIS CD IS HOT HOT HOT!
Music Review: Another solid album from Meshell Rating: 4 Stars
Meshell NdegéOcello - Comfort Woman (Maverick, 2003)Like her labelmate Madonna, Meshell is always reinventing herself with every album. On this one she seems to be so in love. "Come Smoke My Herb" is my favorite track. Although she sings the EXACT SAME WAY in all of her songs with hardly no key changes whatsoever (she's been doing that forever, just listen to all her albums for proof), there's never a dull moment when listening to her albums and Comfort Woman is no exception. --EJR
Music Review: Meshell does it again Rating: 4 Stars
Comfort Woman begins with Meshell quoting Call Me from her first album Plantation Lullabies, so if you love that album you will swoon when you hear her newest. It's very dub-influenced, but midway thru Meshell rocks out in a very 70s way (my least favourite part of the lp, but I have no arguments with her superb musicianship) How is it this musician remains relatively unknown? Honestly, when a friend dropped this I knew before the end of the first track I had to buy it - do yourself a favour!
Music Review: Disappointed Rating: 2 Stars
Let me begin by saying I have all her stuff, and she probably is my favorite "underground" artist. This sucks. It seems like she and whoever were jamming and just pulled out the tape. Where's teh creativity? That psuedo reggae sound is weak. She almost matched the disappoinment of Batter, I mean Bitter. I'm glad I bought it used. I feel insulted. And I'm trying to be nice. Meshell, what's up? Damn. Who is this music for? Get a band and jam. F**k this simple simon sound.
