Georgia Anne Muldrow “Vweto III” (Foreseen Entertainment)

Georgia Anne Muldrow’s new album arrives with a mission statement.

“‘Vweto III’ is intended for movement,” she writes on her Bandcamp site. “It’s to be played when you birth yourself back outside after a long introspective period … it intends for you to be your own superhero.”

To achieve that inspiring aim, Muldrow has composed and produced a largely instrumental third movement in her trio of “Vweto” albums, which take their name from the word for gravity in the Congolese language Kikongo.

There are guest vocals from rapper Ayun Basa and singer Shana Jensen, but otherwise everything is performed and programmed by the album’s auteur, who is the daughter of jazz guitarist Ronald Muldrow. Her music convey’s a soulful authority — she’s often compared to Nina Simone — but it’s also restlessly twitchy (and glitchy) as it reaches for a higher plane.

Erykah Badu, with whom she collaborated on the 2008 song “Master Teacher,” has likened Muldrow to “the female Jimi Hendrix, the young Marcus Garvey, swinging music like Stevie Wonder.”

Muldrow’s facility with vintage keyboards is demonstrated on “Synthmania Rock” and “Passin’ Ooout!” Hip-hop heavy jams such as “Boom Bap Is My Homegirl” revel in lowend rhythm. “Action Groove” recalls the 1970s collision of Kraftwerk and hip-hop, and “Grungepiece” is a love letter to Jamaican dub.

It’s a wonder that the 37-year-old Muldrow — who’s released 21 albums — has remained less well known as a producer than male kindred spirits like Flying Lotus. But with last year’s “Mama You Can Bet!” and now “Vweto III,” Muldrow’s enticing music is getting the attention it deserves. — Dan DeLuca, The Philadelphia Inquirer
