Meshell’s 10th album—Pour une ame souveraine (For a sovereign soul) - A dedication to Nina Simone—arrives October 9. It is a luminous collection of songs that pays homage to a music legend and features special guests Sinead O'Conner, Lizz Wright, Valerie June, Toshi Reagon and Cody ChesnuTT.

I went Saturday night in Detroit. I thought the show was amazing. There were some sound issues early on but she took them all in stride. And when she gets into her trance, ooh wee!!!
This show was in direct contract to the last time I saw her. She had a terrbile attitude, played with her back to the audience and played no bass. I promised I would never see here again but I am soooo glad I changed my mind. Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood was killer!!! | |

I'll let you know if the attitude-adjustment is still in place. "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |

I heard about the Detroit show the day OF and couldn't go on such short notice! I would've love to see her and Vernon on the same bill. I saw a portion of her free outdoor show here in Detroit in the summer before the rains came. Her 'tude was OFF that day too.

Wow, you think so? I was at that show and I didn't think her attitude was bad at all. She didn't talk much but to me she seemed fine,and was genuinely sorry when she had to cut the set short due to the rain. I thought it was nice of her to let us onstage when it started raining,and a good friend of mine even gave her a hug when she was coming offstage. Despite the rain,I thought it was a great set and my 7 year old daughter even enjoyed it! I also saw her two weeks ago in Chicago and I'd say that was my favorite show of hers out of the 4 times I've saw her. | |

Great Show!, Vernon Reid can still shred like a maniac, and James Ulmer sang some great stuff.
There set was rather short... and i wish i could have seen more.
Meshell was great, she did a bunch of Nina Simone covers & her band sounded as tight & magnificent as can be. Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener
