Entertainment WeeklyNdegeocello's dreamy vocal styles buttress this boudoir-freindly work. [28 Sep 2007, p.106]
-
It is Meshell Ndegeocello’s most complete and fully integrated record and a defining work that in evading category seems to generate its own rules of engagement and enjoyment.
-
It's untamed, topsy-turvy, elliptical - and one of the most exciting albums I've heard all year.
-
VibeEven while wearing her sexuality like an honor roll sticker, Ndegeocello is dazzlingly delicate. [Nov 2007, p.98]
-
Even in its duller moments--the flaccid ballad 'Shirk,' the truncated sax solo that closes 'Virgo,' rainbow messages from God ('Elliptical')--this record fails to depart from the serious verve that has kept this artist relevant and refreshing for years.
-
It’s this friction between the worldly and the cosmic, the erotic and the angry, that gives these songs their unique spark.
-
Though her deep voice is mixed down a little, most of Meshell Ndegeocello's seventh album--five of its tracks reprised from last year's "Article 3 EP" recalls 2002's "Cookie."
