The Sound of Young America: Meshell Ndegeocello, Revolutionary Soul Singer

Episode notes

Meshell Ndegeocello is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Her work in the early to mid 1990s presaged “neo-soul,” and she continues to push boundaries today, recording everything from rock to jazz. We talk with Meshell about coming up in DC’s GoGo scene, imagining the sound of the bass, and much more. Ndegeocello’s most recent release is “The World Has Made Me the Man of My Dreams.”
