The Los Angeles-bred | | singer, songwriter, and musician is all and none of these things - | | she's able to channel the greats from decades past in soul, R&B, and | | jazz, but her own music is too subversive, too forward-thinking to be | | cordoned off as a footnote to any one lineage. Over the course of a | | career that spans dozens of releases and ropes in a wide array of | | talented collaborators, it would appear that Muldrow has explored | | every nook and crevice of her tastes and talents. And yet, after | | nearly 15 years, each new turn in her catalog is a step directly into | | the unknown. | | | | Released by Mello Music Group, VWETO II, is this kind of exploratory | | turn. It's the sequel to her 2011 album by the same name. Like its | | predecessor, VWETO II is an all-instrumental affair, reestablishing | | Muldrow as one of the most reliable crafters of sturdy, funky, | | spaced-out hip-hop working today. | | | | VWETO II comes in the wake of 2018's daring, acclaimed Overload, | | which reaffirmed Muldrow's gifts as a vocalist and as a songwriter: | | tight melodies cutting through airy beats or working in tandem with | | heavier ones. Here she puts different musical traditions in | | conversation with one another, from the way "Big Mama Africa Jam" | | uses the templates of this decade's beat scene in a way that recalls | | hints of G-funk, to the way that "Emo Blues" seemingly shirks its | | title to become something stranger and synthier. From the | | irresistible slap of "Bronx Skates" to the piercing clarity of | | "Brokenfolks," the number of styles that are rendered effectively | | here is, simply, dizzying. | | | | Nowhere else on the globe would the deployment of all these seemingly | | disparate sounds in service of a single end seem reasonable, even | | intuitive. Muldrow grew up the daughter of a jazz guitarist and the | | musical director of a spiritual center, the very embodiment of a | | musical community that is at once concerned with the corporeal world | | and something beyond. It's why the album's penultimate song, the | | head-nodding "Wu Punk," is able to be not only menacing but a little | | bit Gothic; it's why it seems perfectly natural for Muldrow to title | | one of the most celebratory cuts "Nate Dogg's Eulogy." | | | | Vweto, in Swahili, means "gravity." Where Muldrow's songs often | | grapple with ideas that are complex and esoteric, VWETO II is a | | reminder that their backbone is a tight, expert musicianship. The | | album could be played at a summer cookout or a weekend house party | | and be an instant crowd-pleaser, but it also rewards more attentive | | listening - to the subtle tweaks of familiar formulas, to the | | high-wire technical passages, to the emotional energy being wrung | | from each instrument in the mix. It should be no surprise that for an | | artist like Georgia Anne Muldrow, even a return to the basics would | | be a step into the future. | | | | | | All Songs Mixed & Produced by Georgia Anne Muldrow. | | Mastered by Romeo "DJ Romes" Jimenez. | | Executive produced by Michael Tolle, Dudley Perkins & Georgia Anne | | Muldrow. | | | | "VWETO II is an astral funk laden mindscape. Best used for long term | | discussions, late night car ciphers, deep contemplation, clearing the | | air after an argument or starting a brand new day. Repeat as needed. | | Uhuru" - Georgia Muldrow | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2019-=----------------------/__\--'
