She has eschewed genre for originality, celebrity for longevity, and musicals trends for musical truths. She has lived through the boom and bust of the industry and emerged just as she entered - unequivocally herself. Fans have come to expect the unexpected from Meshell, and faithfully followed her on sojourns into soul, spoken word, R&B, jazz, hip-hop, rock, all bound by a lyrical, spiritual search for love, justice, respect, resolution, and happiness. Groove driven, infectiously melodic and lyrically meditative, Meshell’s latest album, Comet, Come To Me, finds her returning to the same well of creativity that launched her career. Her 11th release, it is possibly a culmination of all previous work: lush, vocal, seeking, wise, collaborative, and driven by the signature bounce and precise pocket of Ndegeocello on bass. The album features special guests Shara Worden (My Brightest Diamond) and Doyle Bramhall, along with long-time collaborators Christopher Bruce (guitar) and Jebin Bruni (keys), and Earl Harvin on drums. Assured of her place as an authentic musical thinker and an uncompromising artist, Comet continues to discover, examine, and Label: NAÏVE explore all that music has to offer her and how she can return the gift.

American Rhapsody RELEASE DATE 2ND JUNE 2014 Live HAZMAT MODINE Released to coincide with the band's summer jaunt around Europe - which includes appearances at both Cambridge Folk Festival and Womad - the uncategorisable New Yorkers return with a selection of hazardous material culled from live recordings made in Germany, Switzerland, USA and Canada, including a splendid version of Baby Please Don't Go with guest throat-singing from Huun Huur Tu. Hazmat Modine is a band in perpetual motion.To them, timelessness, innovation and inclusiveness trump the trendy and the ephemeral. The very definition of honest-to-goodness American roots music – but also considerably more global and exotic – Hazmat Modine is visually and aurally captivating, continually exploratory, and thoroughly engaging.

Mixing original compositions and inspired covers (of Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland, Wilson Pickett and even Johnny Nash), he brings us an album on which poetry, dark thoughts and hope combine with an insuppressible groove.With these eleven tracks forged in a furnace of fiery soul and rhythm ‘n’ blues, giving off the odd spark of gospel and rock ‘n’ roll, Lucky Peterson isn’t just making his big comeback.
