Outstanding artist July 19, 2008
Meshell is one of the few artists whose CDs I instantly bought altogether. I didn't have to wait for her CDs to come out because I unfortunately did not know about them initially (excluding The World Has Made Me The Man Of My Dreams, which I had to wait for). If I had known about her music, I would have been a fan from the very beginning. Still, it's not everyday that I buy several CDs by the same artist at once. After hearing about the greatness of her music from an actor, I went to a music store and bought them the next day. I can honestly say that she is a genuine artist and she deserves more recognition than she is currently getting. Like all her CDs, Plantation Lullabies is intellectual, political, sensual, romantic, comforting, beautiful, and spiritual. It also shows that she is proud of being African-American. Her voice is also very lovely. You'd have to buy her CDs to understand what I'm saying. Listening to her CDs is an extraordinary sensation that you should experience as many times as possible. It sure makes me very happy.
 Great cd. Makes you think. February 21, 2008
This cd is soulful and political. Me'shell is a superb vocalist, instrumentalist, and song writer.
The spark... June 28, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
of the so-called neo soul movement in the early 90s. This record was a breath of fresh air and was an introduction to one of the few free thinking black artists to emerge with some degree of success post-Prince. Her whole style was new fresh, jazzy and funky; poetic & thought provoking, and she plays a mean bass. But this was only the beginning, Meshell has not waivered in being one of the most progressive soul artists out there; she still is today. Best tracks: "Shooting up & getting high", "Soul on Ice", "Step into the projects" & "Two lonely hearts on the subway".
Maxwell would later mimic her style of opening up the CD/LPs with a short instrumental overture and the unexpected breakdowns in the middle of songs. Highly Recommended~!

Somehow, somewhere there must have been a bad storm that killed all soul from musicians. But thankfully there was Noah who built an Ark and had Me'Shell Ndegeocello and Neo-Soul on board. That saved soulful people to still in the mist of all this crap music produce and bless us with music straight from the heart. Where ever Me'Shell is, I'll rush over.
Pleasantly Surprised May 12, 2007
I first heard of Me'Shell NdegeOcello after hearing her vocals and bass on John Mellencamp's rendition of Wild Nights. Over the next few years, I occasionally heard of her stellar reputation as a musician, but I hadn't heard any of her work. I must say I was pleasantly surprised after purchasing Plantation Lullabies. I can't begin to accurately describe her work, but experienced it as a soulful fusion of styles that evoked often overlooked or supressed emotions. While listening, it felt like I was accompanying MeShell on a journey with no particular destination, just roadtripping for it's own sake. Probably not very helpful, but you should get this one anyway.
