Synopsis

Product Description

These are Georgia Anne Muldrows EARLY recordings. She wrote, produced and recorded this lean, ten track album entirely by herself but the sound of its backdrop and the maturity of the themes that accompany it, showcase an intimate knowledge of rhythm and syncopation well beyond her years.

Seventeen years young with an old soul, Georgia managed to blend the composing acumen of Roy Ayers and J Dilla with the vocal styling of Billie Holiday and Lauryn Hill. The results are both hot and cool, bitter and sweet, inside the lines and outside the box.

While not as experimental as her later releases, these early recordings add another piece to the puzzle, further displaying the broad scope of her gift. Most of what you are about to hear will seem like it was recorded in recent years allow yourself to marvel at the fact that it was not.

CD Reviews

The missing link. Get it NOW.

Scott Woods | Columbus, Ohio United States | 11/18/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is the Muldrow record I have been wishing existed through which to better expose people to her now vast catalogue.

Muldrow is one of the most talented and expressive singers working today, but her albums have gotten progressively more complex and even her earliest records prove challenging to people looking for good music but struggling to get the radio R&B monkey off their back. "Early" is now that gateway.

This album is comprised of music that she did prior to all of the albums we know now but are only being released now, so we're talking about songs she did when she was, what, 19? Let me assure you that at 19 this artist was better than half the people with record deals right now. It's a more stripped down, mainstream affair than her later albums, but that just means we're treated to the Lauryn Hill/Chaka Khan/India record that we all waited for and never came. These songs have the seeds of her later work in them - the odd chord changes, the winding lyrics, the ear candy that makes her songs different evey time you hear them - but the groove is unmistakable. This record is basically a show of force that says, "I could do what you hear on the radio, and better, but I have a higher calling."

If you like soul music, get it. If you never heard of her before now this is a great record with which to get acquainted. If you're a fan, you should already have this and be wearing it out.

Real soul music sounds like this. No gimmicks

"Nothing but raw expression, I love it. sick and absolutely tired of the same old R&B crap, neo soul getting to gimmicky for ya? Have no fear Georgia Ann Muldrow is right hear. If you're not feeling it then you haven't caught up yet, hey get it anyway and listen to it again in what, 2020? and just maybe then you'll finally get it."
