Georgia Anne Muldrow is streaming her VWETO III: The Jam on May 20th which happens one day before the release of the album. The replay of the stream will be available 24hrs after the performance. Tickets can be purchased now.

 

 

Georgia Anne Muldrow shares new atmospheric funk in the form of her latest single “Unforgettable.” The hard-slapping beat, synthesizers that twitch and do runs plus Muldrow’s voice that fades into the sonic landscape is perfect car music. There is a sunny visualizer to accompany the track she wrote, produced and performed. She says, 

“I made the song ‘Unforgettable’ with the hope that people can make themselves unforgettable in a positive way. People can hype themselves up in the mirror. Dance and decorate themselves in such a way that they feel that they have that kind of impact on their communities and their families. It’s like a mantra for your own selves: You are unforgettable.”

Muldrow is asking rappers, singers, poets and beatboxers to add their vocals to “Unforgettable” and whichever ones she likes she will post to her Instagram. Participants are to story or post video of their submissions and hastag #VWETOIII and tag @Georgia.Muldrow and @Foreseenent who will re-story their entries. VWETOIII is the third release in her series of abstract hip-hop beats. The album will be released May 21st through FORESEEN Entertainment in partnership with Muldrow’s Epistrophik Peach Sound imprint. The cover art was created by Cape Town artist Breeze Yoko. On March 25th she along with some other black creatives launched an online auction for one NFT of the album and its artwork. The auction is available via OpenSea and Rarible. The bidding will stop on March 21st when the music is released and %50 of the proceeds will be donated to Critical Resistance.

Georgia Anne Muldrow’s “Mama, You Can Bet!” is the title track of her upcoming jazz album. The song is dedicated to Muldrow’s mother Rickie Byars who has an extensive past in jazz having worked with people like Pharoah Sanders and Roland Hanna. The album is the third to be released under Muldrow’s Jyoti moniker. Piano, percussion and Muldrow’s vocals express the beauty Muldrow sees in her mother and how she is deserving of romantic love. “Mama, You Can Bet!” follows the song “Orgone” released earlier this summer. The new album officially comes out on August 28th and can be pre-ordered. 

Georgia Anne Muldrow is releasing a jazz album this summer under the name Jyoti which was given to her by Alice Coltrane. Mama, You Can Bet! is her third Jyoti album but the first one with her vocals. “The Walk” and Cowrie Waltz” are from the album and Muldrow describes them: 

“Violence can both ignite and snuff out a voice,‘The Cowrie Waltz’ is me taking some magic scalpel I found, slicing up a hard bop feel, and exposing its ribs and gut-meat to say: ‘This is where the blues is.’”

Saxophonist Lekeica Benjamin is the only guest on the album. There are two Charlie Mingus songs remixed by Muldrow that were commissioned by Jason Moran and The Kennedy Center in 2017. “Bemoanable Lady Geemix” and “Fabus Foo Geemix” were performed as part of the Muldrow Meets Mingus shows at The Kennedy Center and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Mama, You Can Bet! comes out on August 28th.
