<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nLos Angeles-bred singer, songwriter, and musician Georgia Anne Muldrow<\/strong> recently released her new album VWETO II<\/em> via Mello Music Group. WETO II<\/em> is the sequel to her 2011 album by the same name. Like its predecessor, VWETO II is an all-instrumental affair, reestablishing Muldrow as one of the most reliable crafters of sturdy, funky, spaced-out hip-hop working today. <\/p>\n Nowhere else on the globe would the deployment of all these seemingly disparate sounds in service of a single end seem reasonable, even intuitive. Muldrow grew up the daughter of a jazz guitarist and the musical director of a spiritual center, the very embodiment of a musical community that is at once concerned with the corporeal world and something beyond. It\u2019s why the album\u2019s penultimate song, the head-nodding \u201cWu Punk,\u201d is able to be not only menacing but a little bit Gothic; it\u2019s why it seems perfectly natural for Muldrow to title one of the most celebratory cuts \u201cNate Dogg\u2019s Eulogy.\u201d <\/p>\n Vweto, in Swahili, means \u201cgravity.\u201d Where Muldrow\u2019s songs often grapple with ideas that are complex and esoteric, VWETO II is a reminder that their backbone is a tight, expert musicianship. The album could be played at a summer cookout or a weekend house party and be an instant crowd-pleaser, but it also rewards more attentive listening \u2013\u2013 to the subtle tweaks of familiar formulas, to the high-wire technical passages, to the emotional energy being wrung from each instrument in the mix. It should be no surprise that for an artist like Georgia Anne Muldrow, even a return to the basics would be a step into the future. <\/p>\n Jump on the mothership below and take a journey into the future.
