The boundary-busting singer and bassist Meshell Ndegeocello has been getting together with her peers to record cover songs for a very long time. Way back in 1994, Ndegeocello and John Mellencamp had a big hit with their cover of Van Morrison’s “Wild Night.” Today, Ndegeocello announces Synonym, a new album that’s nothing but duet covers. She has rounded up a fascinating core of collaborators to take on some gigantic songs, and it’ll be fascinating to hear with she and her friends do with them.
