TIME OUT REVIEW

JHELISA
"A PRIMITIVE GUIDE TO BEING THERE"

Jhelisa Anderson released two fine soul-jazz albums in the '90s and has since worked with the likes of Bjork and Chaka Khan. This LP, recorded in New orleans as Katrina hit, is a sublime distillation of Southern gospel, soul, M-Base-ish funk and jazz. At times it recalls a spiritual Tricky, at others a twenty-first century Nina Simone. I's underpinned by Jhelisa's distinctive harmonies, low-slung grooves and beguiling voice. Unique and totally essential.
