Meshell Ndegeocello: Tiny Desk Concert

Музыка

This Black Music Month, Tiny Desk is giving the ladies their flowers. We’re releasing nine Tiny Desk concerts from Black women artists, from veterans who’ve paved the way for what we hear today in Black music, to those who are carving out their own paths.
Nikki Birch | June 18, 2024
Experiencing all of the Tiny Desks this Black Music Month has made many of my dreams come true, and Meshell Ndegeocello’s performance was no exception. For 30 years the Grammy-winning artist’s music has cast an unflinching gaze on love, race, sexuality and religion. Her new album out in August, No More Water: The Gospel of James Baldwin, zooms out to focus on the love of humanity as inspired by the writer and civil rights activist.
Her performance includes three songs from that album, starting with “Travel,” which features Kenita Miller’s swirling whispers alongside Jake Sherman’s organ and Ndegeocello’s bass, which ushers us into her church service. “Thus Sayeth The Lorde,” references the writings of Audre Lorde: “If I did not define myself for myself, I’d be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive.” This conviction has been the binding agent of Ndegeocello’s career. Releasing her debut album at a time when many of the women who dominated Black music were singers who adopted an ultra-feminine aesthetic, as a bassist and vocalist she gallantly eschewed that standard for androgyny, fully embracing her queer, two-spirit identity.
“Love” continues this theme, urging you to allow love to take over and accept yourself in the face of existential crisis. The final songs of Ndegeocello’s Tiny Desk Concert are fan favorites. First, we’re sent off into space with the playful “Virgo,” from Ndegeocello’s album The Omnichord Real Book. Then she brings us back to Earth with the yearning “Outside Your Door.”

    I hope to see Lucy Pearl perform. I know Raphael did it a couple times but since we doing all these throw backs, Lucy Pearl would be a classic with all their songs 😍😍

    What is this magic I just witnessed? She's amazing!! I'm so happy to get to experience her beyond her hits of the late 90's. This is a spiritual experience. She deserves all the flowers. + Her keffieyah did not go unnoticed. FREE PALESTINE!

(Side note: I would like to point out in the notes above that Meshell should not be identified with the term "two-spirit", that is an Ojibwe term reserved for them. Please use something else that means the same thing out of respect for Me'shell and Native People. Thank you.)

    What I love so much about Meshell is that it's not about 'her', it's about the music. The music has so many twists and turns, yet always funky (or is that, 'grooving'), yet it can be listened to on so many levels. Fantastic, thanks TDC.
