Meshell DEVIL'S HALO cover art... Not sure if anyone has posted this, but I ran across this on amazon.com. What do we think?

I've enjoyed the more conceptual art from her previous projects, but I'm kinda liking this, too. It's just... organic, somewhat like the supposed vibe of her new music. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Ok, now you got me thinkin. Is she looking at the halo and the glow from the devil's halo is what is illuminating her face? If so, what does her expression reveal about this object? 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

If I had to guess, my thinking is we should simply see Meshell -- up close, unadorned, no glamour or lofty thinking in the art. And the "devil's halo" is possibly an equally naked statement by Meshell about her own personality. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Here's another recent shot of her:
For every erstwhile lover, thank God there's a competent tattoo artist. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

The blurryness of the Bitter album. Do you think this is the view through the tears of her lover (ex)? 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

Found a short synopsis.
Devil’s Halo, Meshell’s 8th album, harkens back to the way records used to be made: no click, live band energy, and phenomenal musicianship. Influenced by a breadth of sounds, from The Human League to Wu Tang to Yes, Devil’s Halo displays Meshell’s own diversity of formidable gifts. Always the uncompromising artist and bass player,this record brings a broad range of musical and lyrical voices and selves: the searcher,the skeptic, the dissenter, and the lover. True to form, Meshell offers compositions with raging climaxes alongside moments of terrifying tenderness and honesty. Genre-defiant as ever, Devil’s Halo asks for the real fans of exploration to please stand up. Me'Shell has given up with the politics of explaining herself. After 20 years in an industry that has called her everything from avant garde to a dying breed, what unquestionably remains is the fearsome bassist, prolific songwriter and the creativity and curiosity of an authentic musical force. With that, she has earned critical acclaim, the unfailing respect of fellow players, songwriters and composers, and the dedication of her diverse, unclassifiable fans. ON TOUR 10.06 New York - Highline Ballroom 10.16 Chicago - Old Town School Of Folk Music 10.22 - LA - El Rey 10.23 - Oakland - Town Hall Of Oakland 10.24 S.F. - The Independent 10.27 - Seatlle - The Triple Door 10.28 - Bellingaham, WA - The Nightlight | |
