Meshell Ndegeocello - No More Water: The Gospel Of James Baldwin (2024)
No More Water: The Gospel Of James Baldwin by Meshell Ndegeocello is a powerful, genre-defying album that intertwines music, spoken word, and the profound legacy of James Baldwin. Ndegeocello draws from Baldwin’s seminal work, particularly The Fire Next Time, to explore themes of race, sexuality, and the human condition. The album’s soundscape blends experimental jazz with gospel and spoken word, creating a deeply immersive experience. Collaborations with poets and musicians enhance its emotional and intellectual impact, making it one of Ndegeocello’s most ambitious projects. The result is a reflective yet urgent call to action, resonating deeply with contemporary issues (Glide Magazine) (The Arts Desk) (Albumism).
