 Chaka Khan meets J-Dilla? August 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Capturing all the emotion, doubts, abitions,and energy of the twenty-something woman becoming, Georgia Anne (Muldrow) extends a work of art unique in it's kind. In the likeness of Stevie, Marvin, Sun Ra, and the late Jay Dee (J Dilla),the music (which was produced entirely by Muldrow) sifts a great sense on self-awareness and love while acknowledging adversity and opposition before hand. A great blend of jazz, funk, soul, and inevitably hip-hop, what could easily be classified as neo-soul ascends far beyond any common-place lable. In a class of it's own, the "Worthnothings" EP leaves the listener anxious, yet content while awaiting the full LP.
 Music for jaded ears January 26, 2008

Georgia Anne Muldrow landed squarely on most people's radar thanks to her guest spots on the Platinum Pied Pipers album. Singing over the PPP's brand of Detroit funk, she showed a voice that seemingly had no inhibitions about hitting any note in any way it saw fit. Turns out that appearance was just a hint at the original voice it was introducing.
Muldrow writes, produces, records, and performs everything on this EP. She released it independently prior to getting signed to Stones Throw. This re-release is meant to promote her full-length album out later this year.
You know those tunes you can sing along with the first time you hear them? There aren't any of those on this record. Muldrow doesn't so much progress through notes, as pick and choose which ones she's going to hit when. Add to that the slightly off-kilter rhythms that predominate on Worthnothings and you have a challenging first listen.
"Larva" gives you an early clue that this is going to be something different. One of Worthnothings' most straightforward production efforts plays the back as Muldrow explores the vocal path-less-taken at every opportunity. The result is beautiful and invigorating and just slightly uncomfortable the first time through. Run the song back and it's really interesting. Hear it a third time and it's amazing.
Move further into the record and "Lo Mein" reaches the heights of incongruity. At no point in the song does the melody serve as anything more than a suggestion informing Muldrow's lyrical choices. She swings all around the simple backing track, never resting near the obvious notes for more than a measure. Oddly enough, the result is riveting. It's lightning in a bottle. It's the spirit of improvisation captured perfectly in one song.
This is a record for musicians, radio jocks, and industry vets. It's a record for ears jaded from hearing the same thing year after year. The same drums, the same chords, the same vocals. For those ears, Muldrow is an unexpected treat. For less tired ears, it might be too much the first time through. But give it another few runs so you don't miss what's going to have your favorite artist raving about Worthnothings.
Unbelievable Debut!!! Best album I have heard in a long long time September 21, 2007
I don't know how I found this album, I think it was through Amazons or ITunes recommendations. However I am extremely happy that I did. It is one of the most engaging albums I have ever heard. What effects me the most is the harmony of the production and her voice. The music plays off of her voice so well, its seems improvisational much like jazz, but its not. Its very hard to classify, and that is [art of what makes it so beautiful to me. My favorite songs from the album are Demise and Larva both of which are outstanding and sound so different then anything out now. My only complaint about this album is that it is to short, but it lends itself to repeated listens. The music is so rich I discover something new about it everytime I listen to it.
Georgia Anne Muldrow's Powerful Debut January 4, 2007

Georgia Anne Muldrow busts through the door with her sonically amazing Worthnothings EP. Produced by Georgia herself on Stonesthrow records, this album is a fresh blend of hip hop and what has been called "progressive soul" (although you cannot truely put a label on Ms. Muldrow's unique artistic endeavor). Georgia has an amazing harmonic sense as she takes you on a melodical journey through the world of her eclectic sound. Her insightful message is beautifully poetic and resonates in a time where originality and positivity is much needed. The essence of Jazz shines through her music as she opens your eyes to the future of hip hop and soul. Also be sure to check out her full-length album Olesi: Fragments of Earth.
