Meshell Ndegeocello - Synonym

With her 3rd Blue Note album Synonym, Meshell Ndegeocello presents a remarkable album of duets featuring an astounding rollcall of special guests reimagining and reconceptualizing a brilliantly curated collection of classic songs that are known, loved, and diverse in tone, genre, intent, and BPM. This is an album about joy, selfhood, individual representation, and universal experience that explores expressions of desire, care, heartbreak, friendship, disappointment, and love in all the forms. All the songs feature two singers who identify as the same gender, wherever that might be on the continuum, and are musically matched for contrast or compliment including Cynthia Erivo, Cat Power, Chaka Khan, Brandi Carlile, Bill Callahan, Chris Thile, Nick Hakim, Robert Glasper, Madison Cunningham, Laura Lee (Khruangbin), Lizz Wright, Emily King, Lianne La Havas, Moses Sumney, Destin Conrad, ANOHNI, WILLOW, Evann McIntosh, and Ink.
