Jhelisa Anderson (cousin of nu-soul diva Carleen) released two fine soul-jazz albums in the ’90s and has since worked with the likes of Björk and The Roots. 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. It’s underpinned by Jhelisa’s distinctive harmonies, low-slung grooves and beguiling voice. Unique and totally essential.
