Meshell Ndegeocello Adds Second Leg Of US Tour Dates

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Girlie Action Media & Marketing) On the heels of announcing several east coast tour dates for this November, Meshell Ndegeocello has lined up another run of US shows to kick off in January.   The singer/songwriter/bassist/rapper will release her new album  Weather on November 8ththrough Naïve Records.  Meshell recently stopped by KUT in Austin for an interview and live performance - click HERE to listen.

 

Produced by Grammy-winner Joe Henry (Aimee Mann, Solomon Burke, Ani DiFranco),Weather is the latest addition, to Meshell's diverse catalog and is her ninth album in 20 years.

 

A strikingly organic record, the album finds Meshell experimenting with sparse, orchestral melodies paired with thoughtful lyrics, all performed by a band of fearless musicians. The album opens with the title track "Weather," a spacey, soulful groove that sets the stage for the rest of the record. Tracks like "Oysters" and her cover of Leonard Cohen's "Chelsea Hotel" find Meshell constructing hushed ballads, centered around mournful piano. These tracks are juxtaposed with Meshell's defiant, soulful stomps on songs like "Rapid Fire" and "Dirty World." The album also features all-star collaborations with the likes of Chris Connelly (ex-Revolting Cocks, Ministry), Benji Hughes, and Joe Henry.
