Bleep

After a nomadic career that has seen her pass through labels including Stones Throw, Mello Music Group and Ubiquity Records, Georgia Anne Muldrow now turns up on Brainfeeder for her new LP Overload. This is an album that builds on the neo-soul lineage of artists like D’Angelo and Lauryn Hill by combining classic tropes of the genre with sounds drawn from various areas of contemporary rap. There is a clear trap influence to the drum programming on cuts such as ‘Overload’ and ‘Play It Up’. Many of the instrumentals here also have the same hazy psych-jazz quality to them that was all over Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly. Where Lamar’s double-quick verses took centre-stage there, here it is Muldrow’s deeply expressive voice which anchors the record.
