On the majority of Weather, Meshell Ndegeocello is supported by a core group
that played on 2009's Devil's Halo: drummer Deantoni Parks, guitarist Chris
Bruce, and pianist Keefus Ciancia. Whereas Devil's Halo was co-produced by
Ndegeocello and Bruce, this set was produced by Joe Henry, who was involved in
the making of 1999's Bitter and notes in the liners here that he "pushed for
songs to happen -- as much as possible -- as real-time 'live' performances."
Compared to Devil's Halo, the set is a little more stripped-down with a slightly
greater sense of spontaneity, and Ciancia dials down his "various soundscapes."
There's tighter focus on romantic relationships, or maybe just one relationship,
with a "you" addressed throughout on a spectrum of aching emotion that ranges
from distress to desire. Radically different emotions are conveyed with minor,
affecting inflections. In the dizzily swaying "Objects in Mirror," she can't
move on ("I think about you every day/While I loiter on your doorstep"), while
the somewhat similarly adorned "La Petite Mort" floats in on hushed libidinal
swagger ("Arch your back and tell me the truth/Who's your daddy now?"). The
wealth of lithe, quiet backdrops played at slow tempos allows Ndegeocello, who
switches between husky lower and sweet upper registers with more ease than ever,
to tickle the ears. No song rocks, but a few groove, best heard on "Dirty World"
("Kick and scream and watch it burn"), featuring a stealthily furious and funky
bassline. This time, there are two covers, and they slip into the album's fabric
with ease. The Soul Children's 1972 Stax single "Don't Take My Kindness for
Weakness" is turned into a delicate ballad with acoustic guitar and piano but is
no less assertive, while Leonard Cohen's "Chelsea Hotel" gets stately, full-band
treatment with a wistful touch. Ndegeocello is making some of the finest music
of her life. Given her consistency of late, it's quite possible that the same
thing will be said of her output for as long as she is active.~Andy Kellman
