This album is a duet album featuring a star-studded lineup of guest artists including Chaka Khan, Cynthia Erivo, Cat Power, and Brandi Carlile. The album features covers of songs from diverse eras and genres, including The Human League's \"Embers of Love,\" Bob Dylan's \"God's on Our Side,\" and Dolly Parton's \"Island in the Stream.\" These covers range from 1960s folk, 70s soul, country, and pop to 80s R\u0026amp;B and electro-boogie, early 90s alternative rock, and early 2000s hip-hop. The album title, \"Synonym,\" reflects the idea that \"we are all different beings, but the essence of being human is the same.\" With guest appearances from various genres and a diverse range of sounds incorporated, the album fully expresses her mindset of valuing all kinds of music beyond genre boundaries. Regarding this work, Ndegeocello says, \"This work is an homage to classic songs that have been loved by many people for generations. Each song has a different tone, genre, and intended groove. But at the same time, this album is also about joy, individuality, individual expression, and experiences common to all humanity. I developed the sense of interpreting other people's songs when I was playing in a go-go band in Washington D.C., because we had to play someone else's songs in our own voice and character. Also, my father played in the Army Big Band, and we often talked about the definitive arrangements of Count Basie and Duke Ellington. A song is merely a framework.\" Media reviews and more: Michelle Ndegeocello, one of the greatest producers\/bassists\/singer-songwriters of our time.
