Entertainment WeeklyAnother set of songs that are political and unflinchingly personal, but still manage to entertain. [7 June 2002, p. 76]
-
Without resorting to anything so obvious as a hook she manages to maintain continuity and interest over an hour-plus of poetry-with-funk.
-
Cookie drips with R&B, hip-hop, Latin grooves, experimental jazz, blues and techno tidbits for yummy multilayered goodness.
-
SpinNdegeocello still swings for the same musical fences she did in '93. Here, though, she puts more shots into the seats. [Mar 2002, p.129]
-
Throughout, Cookie crackles with intensity, be it of the sexual, political, or religious kind.
-
Ultimately, the disc is a mix of Afrocentrifugal explosiveness -- not only from the music, but also from her powerful lyrics that make the political personal and the personal political.
-
Meshell's best when making the political personal--as she does on the blistering, explicit ballad "Trust"--instead of the other way around.
