Me'Shell Ndegeocello's music is the most sublime of the new school of American funk and soul. In a marked departure from her previous offerings, Bitter is a dark, moody, and soulful album that displays Ndegeocello's creative evolution as she explores new depths of emotion in her music. --Michael Wells
The angular, sensual funk-rock blend of Me'Shell Ndegeocello's 1996 Peace Beyond Passion here gives way to a hushed confessional mood that recalls classics by Joni Mitchell and Rosanne Cash. Ndegeocello puts her formidable bass skills far off to the side here--there's rarely even an electric guitar to be heard on these tracks--in favor of a mix often dominated by a small string section. Occasionally overripe, as on a cover of Hendrix's "May This Be Love," Bitter is nonetheless an intriguing take on one woman's love, confusion, and ultimately, hope. --Rickey Wright

Summary: An Absolute Masterpiece
Comment: I just recently discovered the music of MeShell NdegeOcello and this album has been on continuous rotation in my cd player. Bitter is a masterpiece in every sense of the word, from start to finish this album is flawless as MeShell bares all and sings about issues that haunt relationsips such as temptation, cheating, breakups, and the emotions that result from them. I recommed this album to those who love honest, soulful, good music. Bitter is by far one of the most "real" albums I have ever heard.
