In austere style and apolitical theme, it's similar to Ndegocello's 1996 outing Bitter, but this is the work of an older, wiser woman who can view that album's romantic failures within a bigger picture.
-
A perfect commingling of the spirits of dub reggae and mid-'70s soul and groove jazz.... NdegeOcello's finest moment on record thus far.
-
UrbShe's made her Marvin Gaye album, a sweet collection of dreamy, reggae-kissed gems. [Dec 2003, p.86]
-
UncutA sensual, sumptuous overload. [Jan 2004, p.116]
-
VibeThough Comfort Woman does not match the rebellion of past efforts, its overall joy is infectious. [Dec 2003, p.214]
-
You end up wishing Ndegeocello would grab someone and go get a room.
-
The last adjective that could ever describe NdegeOcello's music is "dull," but that's just the damnation to apply to the new Comfort Woman, along with "inexplicable," "meandering," and "inexplicably meandering."
