#MWE Day Ten: Meshell Ndegéocello - Bitter
"Spellbinding" is the only word that comes to mind. The mood Bitter sets from its opening seconds is all-encompassing, leaving room for nothing but Ndegéocello's poetic, almost painfully intimate lyrics. Haunting, gorgeous, brilliant.

#MWE Day Nine: Nala Sinephro - Endlessness
I was well-primed for Endlessness given my love of Nala's score for the Smashing Machine, but this immediately felt distinct. Maybe not like one long piece, as the titles suggest, but a journey where the terrain is always shifting. I'm kind of awed by it.

#MWE Day Eight: Little Simz - NO THANK YOU
It covers a lot of ground in 50 minutes, and I sometimes felt it drag, but Simz is such a nimble, versatile presence on the mic that it all hangs together quite wonderfully. Very good when she's reflective, even better when she's talking cash shit. Great!

#MWE Day Seven: Hole - Celebrity Skin
Kinda expected it to be heavier, in terms of sound, but I'm not upset with what I got instead. It kinda feels like a platonic ideal for the best of '90s alt-rock, only most of those bands didn't have someone as cool as Courtney Love behind the mic. Stellar!

#MWE Day Six: Erykah Badu - Baduizm
Given my love for Urban Hang Suite and Brown Sugar, it comes as no surprise that I love Baduizm as well. The surprise for me was how playful it was: Badu's sense of humor as a writer really set the album apart from its predecessors, and it really won me over!

#MWE Day Five: Margo Guryan - Take a Picture
Feels like a key link in the chain of things that influenced records and artists I love, the first Natalie Prass album in particular. Maybe a little TOO sunshine-y at times, but these songs are hooky and sturdy as you please. Very, very good stuff.

#MWE Day Four: Aretha Franklin - Spirit in the Dark
I sometimes think calling a record "powerful" can be a value-neutral thing, but man, every moment here hits with the force of a wrecking ball. The grooves, the lyrics, Aretha's voice, all of it just flattened me. And the title track! Transcendent.

#MWE Day Three: Hop Along, Queen Ansleis - Freshman Year
Crude? Jagged? Even amateurish? At times, sure. But genius in embryo is still genius, and when this record is at its best and most arresting, you see glimpses of the genius Frances Quinlan would fully grasp years later. Fascinating stuff!

#MWE Day Two: Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Kate & Anna McGarrigle
Listen to just one song here and you'll understand why Melody Maker compared the McGarrigle sisters to McCartney/Lennon. Beautifully written songs, heartbreaking and knowing in equal measure, sung to perfection. A treasure, simple as.

#MWE Day One: Judy Collins - Wildflowers
A pretty ideal choice for a snowy day here in South Carolina, as warm and welcoming as its title suggests. I typically like my 60s folk less lushly adorned than this, but Collins sounds right at home and her material is excellent - "Priests" especially.
