One followed by Good Lava

Oh snap I didn't even know she had an album coming out.

I like it.

Seems she's really going for a diverse catalogue.

As for the name of the project, Spalding explained: “Emily is my middle name, and I’m using this fresh persona as my inner navigator. This project is about going back and reclaiming un-cultivated curiosity, and using it as a compass to move forward and expand.

“My hope for this group is to create a world around each song, there are a lot of juicy themes and stories in the music. We will be staging the songs as much as we play them, using characters, video, and the movement of our bodies.”

Don't forget King.

She just became my favorite artist? wow. That was the Family Stand used to do. Living Colour kinda vibe. The first one sounds like Joni, via Hissing Of Summer Lawns. The second is just beyond great. Like how she trills her voice. She cute. No afro, but afrodelica.

Kimmel:

Guitarist good.

Wow--thanks for sharing! In just these 2 songs I'm hearing shades of Joni Mitchell, Primus, and Kate Bush. She's certainly going for some range. It'll be great to here the rest of this project/album. I don't like to sound superficial, but I must say that I really do like her look in the video for "Good Lava."

"Yum" is my initial reaction on several levels.

German, touch her and get your arm broke. I want her. lol

Yeah--well--I've already see her, large, on the stage!

I kinda wanna see her. She has been at Austin City Limits a few times but this seems kinda different. I wonder how often she and Prince get together to watch American Idol, like he said on Arsenio Hall last time.

She's great. IDK about her new look though.

I have.

Easily her best.

Has anyone listened to the new album? I just got it and I'm going to try and give it a spin later today.

Yeah it's really really good, i can highly recommend it, like someone said there's a definite Joni like quality to her voice at points that goes surprisingly well with the rock inflected rnb/funk sound that predominates on the album. The deluxe edition also has a really great extended take on the album track Unconditional Love. I must confess i haven't listened to any of her prior works but this was a brilliant jumping on point for me. So yeah, it's great, get it

It's a trilogy I believe.

"Chamber Music Society is Jazz/Classical.

"Radio Music Society" is Jazz/R&B.

"D+Evolution" is Jazz/Rock.

Saw her in London last year, she was great! She played a lot of the D+Evolution tracks, can't wait to hear the actual album.
