Ndidi O - Simple Songs For Complicated Times (2024) [Official Digital Download]

Ndidi Onukwulu integrates jazz, rhythm and blues, world, folk, and bluegrass - to name a few genres - into a sound that is silky and soulful, whimsical and relevant"- Critics At Large

"Simple Songs for Complicated Times' was primarily recorded live off the floor in the intimate confines of Steve Dawson's Henhouse studio in Nashville. Steve and Ndidi have collaborated many live shows together, but 'Simple Songs' marks the first time they've created music in the studio in nearly two decades. The intuition between the singer and musicians is exhilarating to experience. The whole band flows effortlessly with Ndidi's electricity and unique delivery. Steve is in top form, offering up some of his finest guitar and pedal steel playing. The rhythm section of Sam Howard (bass) and Gary Craig (drums) lay a rock-solid foundation for Chris Gestrin's dynamic keyboard flourishes. The backup singers, Khari McClelland, Dawn Pemberton and Keri Latimer are truly inspired and take Ndidi's leads to another level.

Brash and challenging, warm, and inviting, 'Simple Songs for Complicated Times' reflects everything that has always been so appealing about Ndidi O's music. Heartbreak has never hurt so deliciously, nor has salvation ever seemed so near.
