Kelela Cut 4 Me (Self-released) Over the years, the DC-raised, LA-based Kelela Mizanekristos has experimented with everything from jazz standards and hip-hop to electronic music. That exploratory nature was on show in her acclaimed album Cut 4 Me. Released as a free online mixtape, the record quickly went viral and before she knew it, the second-generation Ethiopian immigrant was getting shout-outs from the likes of Solange Knowles and Björk. It’s easy to see why. The downright steamy one-two punch of “Go All Night (Let It Burn)” and “Bank Head” would have been hit records in the hands of Beyoncé or Trey Songz, and album closer, “Cherry Co¬ ee” has the feel of Mama’s Gun-era Erykah Badu. Fans will likely hear some new material when she plays the Bowery Ballroom on Dec 12 and the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn on Dec 13. - See more at: lipulse/art-music/article/before-they-were-cool2#sthash.0qDkPbnY.dpuf
