Just got it today, a little different but still Meshell with great bass playing, beautiful melodies and great session musicians. This is a little heavier than her previous two efforts. What do you guys think? I love it?
Sorry if this topic has already been covered.

I fell in love with Meshell during her funky days in the early to mid nineties, and much of her later stuff has not done much for me. I feel that this CD is much more cohesive, and her playing of off the hook!  She is the Queen of Tone! That grit she gets on "The Sloganeer: Paradise" is absolutely perfect, and her rounder tones on other songs are just typically great Meshell.
She also continues to be the ultimate female mack.  The woman writes lusty loves songs with the best of them.

Actually I bought it the day it arrived at my local Borders- not intentionally, but I was told it "just dropped" (ugh) by the cashier. It has a lot of personality. I've listened to the Comfort Woman album many times over and this is a different vibe. It doesn't have the round, hooky bass playing like some of her previous recordings. And, it isn't as "easy listening soul" as (for example) the "Rush Over" track. Tracks 4, 5, and 6 - taken together - is my favorite section. |

I don't have a problem with being artsy and experimenting but it doesn't mean every record is going to be a good one. |

It's the closest thing to the Old school Funk IMO.
