Elliptical: The Music of Meshell Ndegeocello

By Jon O'Bergh and André Akinyele

Multi-Grammy Nominated Meshell Ndegeocello is a rare breed in the music industry. She has survived and weathered the ups and downs of the business by evolving musically, even against fans' expectations. But, even more, she has also evolved spiritually. She's like an older sister or close relative who you watch growing up right before your very eyes, from crazy and wild to mature and content within herself. From her first album Plantation Lullabies to her current Comet, Come To Me, musicians and authors André Akinyele and Jon O'Bergh try to capture the essence of Meshell's music from a fan's point of view through the contemplation of her musical journey that has been the soundtrack to our lives. The book combines personal reflections on how she has influenced and inspired the authors, and also takes the reader inside her music, explaining why she and her music are so powerful and successful.
