A Word With: Muhsinah
By leather | February 5, 2010
Muhsinah’s latest offering The Oscillations: Triangle has monopolized many iPods and CD players since its late 2009 release. It’s a treat for the ears and satisfies your soul’s sweet tooth. Once again The Golden Girl proves that she’s a Renaissance woman with 10 tracks that take you on an electric soul journey. On Oscillations she shares the boards with beatsmiths such as Exile, Flying Lotus, and Oddisee to create an album that is as hard hitting as it is ethereal. It’s hard to know what to expect from Muhsinah, but it’s always a pleasure to discover. Leather had the privilege of picking Muhsinah’s brain on fashion, music, vices and other random musings. Enjoy!
