Meshell Ndegeocello a sorti « Clear Water » – une introspection sneaky stone– inspirational new song featuring Jeff Parker’s bluesy guitar lines and Justin Hicks’ vocals, plus a gripping live video of Ndegeocello’s band performing the song in the studio. You can watch it below.
“Clear water” is the last single to follow the future of the multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter and producer blue note beginning The true book of the omnicord, a visionary album released on June 16 which draws from a wide range of its musical roots. The album features guest artists including Jason Moran, Ambrose Akinmusire, Brandee Younger, Julius Rodriguez, Mark Guiliana, Cory Henry and Joan As Police Woman.
“This album is about how we see old things in a new light,” Meshell says of The true book of the omnicord. “Everything happened so quickly when my parents died. I changed my view of everything and myself in the blink of an eye. As I sifted through the vestiges of their life together, I found my first real book, the one my father had given me. I took their records, the ones I grew up hearing, learning, remembering. My mother gave me her pain, I carry the melancholy that defined her experience and, in turn, my experience of this thing called life calls me to disappear into my imagination and hear the music.
In support of her new album, Meshell also announced upcoming tour dates, including performances at the Blue Note Jazz Festival in New York on June 21 and Napa Valley on July 29, plus upcoming concerts in Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Washington DC, Philadelphia, and the UK’s We Out Here Festival in Wimborne.
