to your universe with spaced-outed “fonk” that celebrates the individual’s ability for self-improvement and ability to live at peace with everyone around them. Georgia Anne Muldrow and Dudley Perkins have teamed up to give you a wake up call on their debut The Message Uni Versa, an album that is about, in Muldrow’s words, “bringing the message of life to your speakers, promoting healing, understanding, listening, and all of that.”
Some may remember Dudley from the two albums he did with Madlib at the helm. Dudley’s voice had a raw harmonic dissonance that took some getting use to, so you either dug or loathed the albums.
Dudley’s voice also projects a strong heart and warmth, and it’s used to the benefit the Message Uni Versa, most obviously on the track The Message. Dudley’s down-to-earth vocals also work in reigning in Muldrow’s cosmic melodies, preventing them from forever being lost in outer space. Overall, they balance each other out in a perfect union that propels both their individual talents into new and wondrous stratospheres.
With a little Parliament/Funkadelic planetary hopping, some honest and rational hippie waxing, and a whole lot of nostalgic soul, G&D take you on a trip in their mothership and give you hope that puts a dip in your hip and a glide in your stride. Check them out!
