Meshell Ndegeocello TO RECORD "AFRO - PUNK" record

rollingstone.com

And after she wraps her current tour with Soulive, Ndegeocello plans to head back into the studio to record her next project, an Afro-punk record for British label BBE.

"It's going to be a mixture of the Clash and Bad Brains and Black Uhuru," she says. "Something that's totally different, harder and just not what people would expect for me."

Who says she is touring with Soulive? The prospective studioproject sounds exciting, I need a little more than
RollingStone to cover this news.

She has been in the studio and will return to the road in september with Transdub Massiv.

This is the latest:

Meshell has officially relocated to Los Angeles and is currently recording "For All(ah)" her first vocal album in 3 years. It is produced by Allen Cato and engineered by Eryk Dyba featuring musicians Terreon Gully, Deantoni Parks, Herve Samb, Pat Metheny, Oliver Lake and Sy Smith. The recording is at a studio house called Palace of the Bees and promises to be breakthrough for her. Meshell wants to do a myspace soon for all of her fans.

She will also do some spot dates for Spirit Music Jamia in October. Japan, Europe and South America tours are being planned for November and December.

As for the Transdub Massiv tour in September where she will play bass only, at this point we have 3 shows confirmed in Vienna, Antwerp, and Amsterdam, and a likely TV performance in Italy. The scale of the tour is smaller than what we initially envisioned, and would be less of a time commitment in any case. The outside travel dates are now September 15-22, or 23rd. So it's a 1 week commitment versus 2 weeks.

More news to come...

Holy crap! Meshell is with BBE?!
Jazzy Jeff and Will I Am were on there for a short time. Will I Am's EP on that label was SLAMMIN'! Forget Black Eyed Peas, if he continued doing stuff like this, he could be a legend IMHO.

I will look forward to this, although I've still not heard all of Dance Of The Infidel yet, but i have heard enough of it to know that when Me'Shell sets her mind to something different, she does it with style and invention. Another project to look forward to.

You haven't heard Plantation Lullabies? Peace Beyond Passion?Cookie: The Anthropoligical mix tape?

There might be a couple of mellow cuts on them, but for the most part they're banging.

Earth is one of my absolute favorite songs by her. As a matter of fact, I'm going to play it right now. That bass, Lalah's smooth velvety vocals, those beautiful passionate lyrics, the beat... whoooo!

Plantation Lullabies has about three slow songs. The rest are mid- uptempo. I'd recommend starting from the beginning. You may convert once you hear I'm Diggin' You.
