..:|:Georgia Anne Muldrow:|:..

From her brilliantly loopy 2006 opus Olesi: Fragments of an Earth to a scene- stealing cameo on Erykah Badu's New Amerykah: Part One, Muldrow has artfully merged progressive soul with Africanist spirituality. For this compilation, the multi-instrumentalist-producer gathers family and friends, including partner Dudley Perkins, mom Rickie Byars Beckwith, and indie-soul protégés Jimetta Rose and Eagle Nebulay. Muldrow directs the clan with melodically funky, oddly delightful whimsy.

UMSINDO (which means sound in Zulu) is Muldrow's second full length album and tells this story with subject matter ranging from world politics to the metaphysical sciences-with laserlike synthwork to match. Muldrow, is the producer/singer/songwriter phenomenon who keeps on giving.
Umsindo is dedicated to Muldrow's African heritage with themes of creation and calls to wake up the consciousness to all who hear it. This Afro-centric gem of an album speaks to the Zulu warriors whose lineage goes back before the planet, where the power of sound is paramount. Los Angeles-born Georgia Anne Muldrow (a.k.a. Ms.One) is well known for her unorthodox soundscaping and inspired traditional African song structuring. Her cameo performances with artists such as Erykah Badu, Mos Def, Dudley Perkins, Madlib and Wildchild feature her as a vocalist. Most recently Muldrow's track "Roses" is featured on Mos Def's latest release, The Ecstatic. The original "Roses" (sans Mos Def) is on Umsindo.
