On her 11th album, Comet, Come to Me, singer Meshell Ndegeocello moves seamlessly between genres—a bit of jazz, a lot of rock and a sprinkling of reggae rhythms and hip hop. She even re-imagines Whodini’s “Friends.”
Here on her reggae-infused title track, the iconoclastic bassist ruminates over an old romance gone wrong, singing “I tried so hard, so hard. Thought I’d make you happy. Thought I’d make me happy me too.”
