Meshell Ndegeocello<\/a>
\nLove \u2013 from her new album No More Water: The Gospel of James Baldwin<\/em><\/strong>
\nMeshell Ndegeocello, born Michelle Lynn Johnson on August 29, 1968, is an American singer-songwriter, poet, and bassist. She \u201chappens to be much more than merely a good musician. She\u2019s been playing professionally since the early 1990s and, at 55, is about to release her 14th album, a collection of songs that excites her. The past \u2014 the repertoire, the old stuff, the hits \u2014 can start to feel like ‘karaoke of myself,’ she said, even if that\u2019s never what it\u2019s been like for us folks in the audience.\u201d (Wesley Morris, here in The New York Times)

Her work bridges gaps between different musical cultures, both honouring and questioning the contemporary tradition while telling new stories through it. Contrasting fine detail with limitless abandon, she has become renowned both as a composer and a storyteller, confronting our collective history with narratively-driven pieces centred on bold mission statements.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds<\/strong><\/a>
\nWild Gold<\/strong>
\nThe Australian rock band around Nick Cave is releasing a new album on 30 August.\u00a0Cave hopes the album has the “effect on listeners” that it had on him. He describes it as a “complicated record” but simultaneously “deeply and joyously infectious”. As their records reflect the band’s “emotional state”, Cave shared the impression that they are “happy” this time around. Cage, who lost two sons within seven years seems to have recuperated after this dark period in his life.
