Georgia Anne Muldrow: “Zulu Bounce” (Vweto, Mello Music Group, 1/25/11)
[audio:https://alarm-magazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Georgia_Anne_Muldrow_Zulu_Bounce.mp3|titles=Georgia Anne Muldrow: “Zulu Bounce”]Listen to ALARM’s premiere of “Zulu Bounce” from soulful hip-hop artist Georgia Anne Muldrow, whose 2010 album Ocotea made our list of 100 Unheralded Albums from 2010.
The song is from Muldrow’s new all-instrumental album, Vweto (“gravity” in Swahili), which is available now on iTunes, with a worldwide release set for January 25, 2011 via Mello Music Group. The album touches on funk, soul, and more experimental, space-rock elements, as evidenced by the above track, which pairs a drum-machine beat with retro synth stabs.
