GEORGIA ANNE MULDROW - Kings Ballad

2010 (Ubiquity)
funk, pop, soul-jazz
by Roberto Mandolini
7

La regina del funk degli anni Zero si chiama Georgia Anne Muldrow. Una manciata di dischi pubblicati negli ultimi sei anni e poi una lista strabiliante di produzioni. Sua la mano dietro gli ultimi successi di Mos Def ("Ecstatic") e di Erykah Badu ("New Amerykah"). "Kings Ballad" è la summa di una carriera fulminea. Dentro c'è di tutto: dal caratteristico soul-jazz che già in passato le è valso il paragone con Nina Simone, all'energico in parte inedito funk alla MeShell Ndegeocello che impreziosisce la prima metà dell'album. In scaletta c'è anche lo spazio per una bella e sentita dedica a Michael Jackson ("R.I.P."). Da metà disco i brani diventano più corti, quasi dei divertimenti in cui la Muldrow dà prova di saper suonare e produrre  qualsiasi  declinazione dell'universo pop.
