Reviews Customer Reviews for Comfort Woman      The only album to make me angry because it is so good!      Rating:      This is the only album that made me angry for not seeing a review! I discovered this project recently on Last.fm and was able to hear it in its entirety. I played it several times just to make sure that I was not fooling myself with its sonic manipulation and ushering in of a private calibration of a good time I had to share with my wife immediately:) When I looked at Amazon and saw that the UK release was January 2008 and the US release was in 2003, I was immediately ticked off with every music critic whose opinion I had come to rely on. No one to my knowledge had mentioned anything about this awesome musical experience. This project clearly picked up where Plantation Lullabies & later song "Rush Over" in the movie "Love Jones" left off. I have Basement Jaxx's Kish Kash where she was a featured guest that had a slight similar vibe and may have been the foundation for one of the Love Songs on this project. But Comfort Woman is as pure as anything released before or after its release. I don't need a flight or road trip to get the full effect of cosmic travel:) Only true P-Funk fans are initiated & qualified to handle some of the guitar licks put down on this project:) Now I'm firing all music critics and using Last.fm almost exclusively going forward. Friends may still continue to offer their opinions:) As Raphael Saddiq's CD was named, CW itself is indeed INSTANT VINTAGE:) You can and should buy this project just for your own provocative, musical massage!     Customer Reviews for Comfort Woman Cd      Me'Shell Ndegéocello knows Human 'Comfort.'      Rating:      "Come lay down beside me I wanna Love take you to paradise." Me'Shell Ndegéocello's music is a blend of bass-heavy funk, neo soul, hip hop, reggae, R&B, rock, and jazz. Arguably her best album, Comfort Woman (2003), is a collection of sensual and seductive grooves reminiscent of Marvin Gaye's classic, What's Going On. These are the songs of a bisexual artist who knows love in all of its physical incarnations: lust, attraction, desire, physical craving, pleasure, and intimacy. Pleasure, this album argues, is an essential part of what it means to be human, and without physical pleasure there can be no life. Few could resist this soul siren when she seductively sings, "come smoke my herb." Album tracks include: 1. Love Song #1 4:03 2. Come Smoke My Herb 3:52 3. Andromeda And The Milky Way 4:28 4. Love Song #2 3:47 5. Body 3:40 6. Liliquoi Moon 4:40 7. Love Song #3 4:30 8. Fellowship 3:13 9. Good Intentions 3:47 10. Thankful 3:23 G. Merritt Editorial Reviews for Comfort Woman Audio Cd      Amazon.com      Just as Marvin Gaye?s Let?s Get It On was about much more than the sex that it celebrated, so does Meshell Ndegeocello?s putative love album Comfort Woman have more than seduction on its mind. Lust and romance frame the record?s concerns, but as with Gaye?s work, they?re seen as a liberating force: "I wanna get free with you," sings Ndegeocello near the disc?s beginning; she later quotes an anti-pie-in-the-sky verse from Bob Marley?s "Get Up Stand Up" to hammer home the theme of salvation on Earth. Similarly, Comfort Woman is more musically ambitious than the bulk of recent neo-soul sets with which it shares an audience. A number of dubwise excursions and rock guitar solos ensure that a debt to the ?70s is paid, but this is hardly a slavish Gaye/Curtis Mayfield tribute. Comfort Woman finds Ndegeocello in an inspired frame of mind and at a peak of invention. --Rickey Wright
