NDEGEOCELLO,MESHELL - Ventriloquism (Sealed) (CD)

Meshell Ndegeocello adopts well known songs of Prince, Sade, Lisa Lisa and others and makes them shine in a new light. In extreme times, with daily new shocking developments in politics and economics, one often feels helpless and is overwhelmed by the bad feeling of losing one's bearings. Meshell Ndegeocello has created her "Ventriloquism" for those moments when you are looking for familiar and familiar surroundings from the past to resume walking. Some albums are testimonies, some are confessions and some are also escapes from something. Ventriloquism ", Meshell Ndegeocello's new album, sees itself as a haven to process different impressions of the crazy world outside, surrounded by the familiar sounds of the past, in the form of Meshell's cover versions of old and well-known pieces from the last 30 years. Musically, Ventriloquism contains all the well-known set pieces for which Ndegeocello is loved: Lush and exploring, stunning and unique. As with all of her recordings, Ndegeocello's influences take their toll on her numerous influences and in these 11 versions of popular hits we listen to these influences layered on top of each other and thus always build a completely new house out of well-known song structures. A musical change of scenery of a special kind!
