A revolutionary soul singer in the true, society challenging sense, Cookie once again has N'degeocello eloquently pondering her favourite subjects: Black stereo types, sexual fulfilment, religion, social oppression and the evil of multinational corporations are all high on the lyrical agenda. Such socio-political banner waving may not be most people's idea of blissed-out listening, but N'degeocello's genius lies in the delivery.  Borrowing heavily from Gil Scott Heron's blue-print, her spoken word poetry and seductive choruses, sung in the voice of a spaced-out angel to equally hazy soul, jazz and ghetto funk make the civil rights rhetoric of \"Dead Nigga Blvd. (Pt. 1)\" and \"Pocket Book\"'s advice for a balanced life, as soothing as they are wise. Better still, the otherworldly sway, hushed melody and graphic murmur of \"Trust\", depicts sexual ecstasy with a tender beauty that the majority of R\u0026amp;B artists couldn't even begin to imitate. --Dan Gennoe      Product Description      The newest album from critically acclaimed, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Meshell Ndegeocello, Cookie: The Anthropological Mixtape is about love, sex, beauty, religion and politics. A mix of hip-hop, go-go, funk, soul, spoken word, jazz and rock 'n' roll, Cookie is already receiving stunning reviews.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 093624798927\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0093624798927\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 9362-47989-2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43708940321027,"sku":"SQ-404M-O9PH","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/61eNUQgxaXL.jpg?v=1675342436","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/cookie-anthropological-mixtape","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
