Critical Praise For G&D:
"[She's] an enormously promising young talent." -NPR
"Maintaining a stinging originality in a world of musical predictability
bless the Jah Jah and Dudley - the freshest bloodlines in the game today." -Gilles Peterson, renowned DJ, BBC
The Song:
Husband and wife duo, Georgia Anne Muldrow & Dudley Perkins will release their new album, The Lighthouse, this coming Tuesday, May 21st, on the duo’s own label, SomeOthaShip Connect. Before then, NPR’s First Listen has premiered The Lighthouse album stream, which can be heard on NPR’s website. To celebrate the release of The Lighthouse, G&D will perform at Brooklyn Bowl in New York on May 21 at Low End Theory in Los Angeles on May 22; the duo will also host a SomeOthaShip label showcase as part of the illustrious Boiler Room TV series on June 25th with DJ Romes, Ill Camille, Mykestro and Kan Kick.
Thanks to the combination of Georgia’s smooth yet powerful vocals and Dudley’s flowing rhymes, the album is a funk infused soul collective, which brims brightly with themes of love, peace and positivity, while also approaching issues of war, family, and social responsibility. Upon hearing all of the eclectic record’s soulfully crafted 17 tracks NPR Editor Stephen Thompson remarked, “The Lighthouse does its best, while still taking care to careen in countless directions at any moment."
