Georgia Anne Muldrow is becoming more synonymous with the term “prolific”. Being a part of over a dozen albums since 2006, there is a wealth of catalogue to catch her on. Her free form approach to lyricism has captivated many audiences and collaborators. One of those collaborators happens to be Madlib. On the fully cooperative Seeds, a seamless combination of Georgia and Mad lib comes together as a missionary pure no-brainer.
Georgia speaks as a singer/orator on a mission bigger than music. The title track “Seeds” looks at the situations and tribulations that exist for the future of our children. “Kali Yuga” speaks on the discord of these days and times, implying something much more mystical in the works. “Husfriend” (and its intro) allows her to express her undying affection for her better half. Thus, Georgia Anne’s mission, as she has chosen, is to express, educate, and analytically elaborate.
Madlib, on the other hand, has a mission to provide the right music to inspire Georgia’s insights. “Kneecap Jelly” has him creating a bass heavy concoction that allows Georgia’s soliloquy to glide into the ears. The funky sampled guitar licks of “The Birth of Petey Wheatstraw” allow the vibe to reverberate with Muldrow’s storytelling lyrics. Even “Remember (Outro)” takes the album out on a high note, leaving the listener wanting more. With this album, Madlib further proves that he can make the most synchronized soundscapes for the artists he works with.
      Seeds is melodic, mesmerizing music with a message. If anyone listens to this and can’t get with the positive vibe, then they need to go listen to something else. Seriously. Georgia Anne Muldrow seems to have too much at stake for the average detached listener. Her music commands you to listen, ingest, and evolve. Just like a seed, the music germinates in the brain and spreads its growth of evolution. Therefore, Georgia Anne Muldrow succeeds in the mission of spreading the kernels of positivity through melody.
