NPR- Weekend Edition- Sunday, April 12th
VOCAbuLarieS is Bobby McFerrin music for the 21st century. An ambitious project several years in the making, it draws from the array of influences that have long contributed to McFerrin’s innovative style — classical to world music, R&B to gospel and beyond. The seven song CD builds upon McFerrin’s past explorations and journeys into expansive territory. In the song “Say Ladeo”, McFerrin sums up his musical philosophy. “Time for taking words away,” he sings, “the melody will tell the story as we go along.”
