Nneka

Add Date: November 17

Artist: Nneka

Album: The Uncomfortable Truth [EP]

Label: Yo Mama/Decon/Epic

Genre: Soul/Reggae/Hip Hop

Comments: This is the US debut EP for Nigerian singer Nneka, who's already enjoying a great deal of success both in Africa and in her adoptive continent, Europe. Her music "has a big splash of Bob Marley in the recipe, a measure of Nina Simone and a lick of Erykah Badu" (Spectre) and definitely not something you want to miss out on. A great sound with a strong political message ("Wake up Africa! Wake up and stop blaming!"). Start with "Africans." And be on the lookout for her debut album in February!
