Meshell Ndegeocello’s first two Blue Note albums – The Omnichord Real Book (2023) and No More Water: The Gospel Of James Baldwin (2024) – have persuasively reasserted her status as an unparalleled force in modern music, earning her the first two GRAMMY Awards to honor her own albums in her three-decade long recording career; exploding any remaining notions of genre boundaries, and coalescing a tight-knit creative circle that operates collectively in the spirit of their motto: Meshell Ndegeocello is a band. 

With her latest album, Synonym, Ndegeocello reaches even higher to deliver one of the most ambitious projects in her impressive discography by expanding her cast of collaborators to include an astounding rollcall of featured guests. At its core, the album captures her ingenuity in reimagining and reconceptualizing songs written and performed by other musicians. Exploring expressions of desire, care, heartbreak, friendship, disappointment, and love in all forms, this thoughtfully curated collection of covers ranges from ‘60s folk and ‘70s soul, country, and pop to ‘80s R&B and electro-boogie, early ‘90s alternative rock, and early aughts hip-hop.
