Numbingly sad at times, positively upbeat at others, Ndidi Onukwulu’s latest project, The Contradictor, successfully blends the disparate rhythms, timbres, and existential tensions of jazz, blues, rock, pop, folk, and gospel into a cohesive work destined to become a favorite among her growing community of listeners. Never predictable, the disc shifts sonic and emotional gears without the disjointedness plaguing so many “fusion”-type recordings.
Much of the cohesiveness can be attributed to the dynamism of Onukwulu’s voice, which possesses that rare ability to brilliantly convey the tragicomic dimensions of life. Something about the way in which she twists her narratives, slurs her words, and projects her moans adds a newness and sparkle to old stories about life, love, and pain. One suspects that the sonic properties and the lyricism of Onukwulu’s voice will evoke comparisons to her more famous singer-songwriter sisters like Fiona Apple, Amy Winehouse, and Nellie McKay, but make no mistake, this is a woman with her own individuality. It is clear from the outset that she recognizes the singularity of her voice and the essentiality of her story.
Not all of the material on The Contradictor sustained my attention, but there were several songs that generated hair-raising moments. All praise due to the disc’s first two songs, “SK Final” and “Lady Z”. The big band sound of the former perfectly anchors Onukwulu’s mesmerizing phrasing, which throws into the mix equal amounts of transparent swagger and bitter irony. Considerably slower than the opener, “Lady Z” illuminates the pain and contradictions of a former lover burdened by wounds so deep that love functions as an emotion to be conquered rather than shared. Count me as one of the those music listeners who usually shuns songs offering readings into the minds and hearts of ex-lovers—mainly because they all tend to be saturated with narcissism—but “Lady Z” definitely gets my nod of approval. To her credit, Onukwulu offers an honest reflection and projection of pain.
Which brings up the issue of her status as blues woman. All of the singer’s press material mentions her love for the blues in general and John Lee Hooker in particular. Quite openly, she speaks of her willingness to explore the dark side of the moon, the more painful dimensions of life. If we think of the blues as mood rather than just form, as writers Ralph Ellison, Albert Murray, and Amiri Baraka commanded of us, then Onukwulu definitely qualifies as a blues singer.
Let me make clear that my assessment of what and who she is is based on more than her articulation of pain. Why she has this blues impulse locked down also relates to her understanding of its sacred dimension. Ominous clouds hang over many of the songs on The Contradictor, but there’s also rays of sunshine, hope, and light in numbers like “Move Together”, “Cry All Day”, and “Rise”.
A sort of Pentecostal-inflected blues, “We Can Move Together” reminds us of the change that can come through human understanding and unity. The breathtaking “Cry All Day” bears witness to pain while at the same time exuding the triumphant qualities of the gospel impulse. “Rise” proclaims victory over anguish and paralyzing despair with the kind of assuredness present in the work of artists guided by the triumphant perspective of the sacred songs. Even though rock rhythms, sensibilities, and swagger pervade the cut, this song also represents Sunday-morning Pentecost. Thrashing guitars, smashing drums, and spirit-filled vocals combine to create an unbelievable energy certain to grab the listener’s attention and spirit.
Freely communicating her emotions, Ndidi Onukwula unabashedly reveals feelings many prefer to let percolate beneath the surface. If you are a fan of music that simultaneously entertains and soothes the soul give her latest outing, The Contradictor, a listen.© Claudrena N. Harold

Ndidi Onukwulu seems to be Conor Oberst’s eponymous Soul Singer in a Session Band.
That was harsh. I didn’t mean that.
Wait. Did I mean that? Or, more to the point, was that harsh? I mean, is there anything wrong with being just a soul singer singing soul these days, sans remarkable band? Does such a staid designation doom one, as Oberst predicts, to be “shredded to ribbons beneath a microphone stand?” Onukwulu’s debut record The Contradictor is a tacit agreement that such a simple conceit may not be enough to cut it in the contemporary flooded market of pan-genre indie-studded cool. At press time, the reviewer hasn’t decided whether he agrees that single-mindedness is an artistic liability, but he will say this: if you’ve only got one punch in your repertoire it should land like a mule kick. If it doesn’t, you’re going to need to rope-a-dope a time or two.
See, the more one listens to promotional discs by aspiring acts of varying texture, genre, and quality, the more one is forced to opine on the difficulty—the damned simple improbability—of making a legitimately good record. The fundamental question changes from: “Does this band/act have something?” to “Does this band/act have the thing?” Often there is a tradeoff, conscious or not, between the potential power of singularity and the titillating effects of the variety show.
Ndidi Onukwulu definitely has something, she may even have the thing, but The Contradictor obfuscates this truth by attempting to convince the listener that she has Everything. Well, no one apart from Criss Angel has everything. Those who hold out that they do are overreaching, and as the reviewer undecided on the qualitative properties of aesthetic single mindedness, I’ve spun enough records to know that overreaching is a definite no-no.
The spectrum in the soul/folk paradigm runs closely along the line measuring an artist’s selectivity with which she chooses to deploy the raw power of the primary genre in which any song is steeped, letting it shine out uninterpreted between the cracks in their personal style. On the high end exists the lethally precise Nastasian school of thought where such bursts can be confined to a mere syllable, on the low end are the honking, crescendo-addicted J-Lo-esque, you know, “diva” types.
The overreach is typically a tool of the trade among latter day albums of the big-noise-small-talent set. And that’s what makes this album somewhat odd, because that is obviously not the where Onukwulu belongs. That is to say, the it that she does have is substantial. Her vocals on The Contradictor reveals that she is an oak-solid soul chanteuse with enough of a burnished brass spine at the center of her alto to not have to rely on the smoky “come hither” affectations of lesser genre mates—of which, Norah Jones is the closest referent. (In fact, the Canadian singer even looks a bit like Jones, but has a much sweeter name). There is enough of this brass spine for this album to hang its hat there.
It seems like much more of this material should exist in and thrive on the energy that hums through the album opener “SK Final” when the horns sidle up at the beginning of the first chorus. The band swings through the song breezily and Onukwulu sounds comfortable and confident belting out, “I’m not going to hurt over you again.” Instead, The Contradictor makes the debatable aforementioned determination that “brassy” is an adjective with a half-life of about two tracks, at which point less complimentary descriptors begin to be applied when the songs melt into each other, becoming nondescript. This is why the soul singer is intentionally shredded to less fulfilling ribbons beneath the microphone stand.
There is a logical motivation here: a rounded album, even one with a few errant stylistic experiments, is less likely to drag. I get it. The problem is that the collection of influences here come off more as calculated grabs at eclecticism than actual range. Songs like “Move Together” give the impression of soul-ified covers of previously written works from other genres, instead of original material written by Onukwulu. The contrasting authenticity of the gin joint burlesque of “Forever SZ” raises the question of what The Contradictor could have sounded like if Onukwulu had allowed herself to play more strongly toward the strength of her voice.
At the closing bell The Contradictor still emerges a victorious debut by decision. But Onukwulu’s muscular voice untethered by experimental constraints is the straight right that could have had this listener with his back on the canvas, staring up at blurred and circling lights wondering what the fuck just happened.
