Synopsis

Album Description

UMSINDO (which means sound in Zulu) is Muldrow's second full length album and tells this story with subject matter ranging from world politics to the metaphysical sciences-with laserlike synthwork to match. Muldrow, who birthed the new millennium hip-hop soul movement, is the producer/singer/songwriter phenomenon who keeps on giving. Umsindo is dedicated to Muldrow's African heritage with themes of creation and calls to wake up the consciousness to all who hear it. This Afro-centric gem of an album speaks to the Zulu warriors whose lineage goes back before the planet, where the power of sound is paramount. Los Angeles-born Georgia Anne Muldrow (a.k.a. Ms.One) is well known for her unorthodox soundscaping and inspired traditional African song structuring. Her cameo performances with artists such as Erykah Badu, Mos Def, Dudley Perkins, Madlib and Wildchild feature her as a vocalist. Most recently Muldrow's track "Roses" is featured on Mos Def's latest release, The Ecstatic. The original "Roses" (sans Mos Def) is on Umsindo.

CD Reviews

Truly Uplifting and Amazing

Artist | tucker , ga usa | 08/03/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I listen to many different styles of music, so I know good music when I hear it. This is pure certified GOOD music. This lady is extremely talented and has an innate ability to tap into the inspiration of the cosmos. This offering is different from her last only in that there are more songs that run over the 2 or 3 minute mark which is great!

The subject matter of her songs is not the typical "I love you baby" crap that you hear from so many soul artists. She has true substance often singing about something uplifting or socially relevant. Subject matter on this disc ranges from taking care of one's children to being thankful for life to lifting oneself from the doldrums to accepting death to inspiring young freedom fighters and so on.

Musically, she's amazing in that she plays all her own instruments and makes it sound 10 times better than someone sampling with an mpc. She has awesome musicality... the way the crafts songs, her arrangements.. everything.

I can't say enough good things about this woman and her music. Overall, I really appreciate her positivity. This is one purchase that won't let you down.... as a matter of fact, it'll lift you up!"

"I could not wait for Georgia Anne Muldrow to put out another CD, so when I saw Eagle Nebula's Cosmic Headphones (produced by Georgia Anne)I was quite satisfied and could not wait for GAM to put out her own CD. So when Georgia Anne Muldrow Presents... Ms. One (CD with various artists and GAM production) came out, I was very pleased again and thought it will be a while before GAM drops another CD. To my surprise GAM has put out yet another CD. Like Olesi: Fragements of an Earth, Umsindo is an excellent CD and diplays the raw and multitalent of Georgia Anne Muldrow. Great production, awesome beats, powerful lyrics and vocals. My favorite song, "Roses". I agree with the other review, you can't go wrong with GAM or the almighty funkmaster Dudley Perkins!"

God Fonk

"Georgia has returned with another beautiful peace offering. No BLING! Beats, nice chords, unexpected chords and sounds, fonk and really positive messages. She (and Dudley Perkins) follows the beat of her own drummer (THANK GOD). It's refreshing for me to hear a style of music I grew listening to prosper, experiment and stay true at the same time."
