Style and influences

Rapper Mos Def said about Muldrow: "She’s incredible. She’s like Flack, Nina Simone, Ella, she’s something else. She’s like religion. It’s heavy, vibrational music. I’ve never heard a human being sing like this. Her voice is wildly, finely expressive. It’s so singular. It’s hip-hop, the way that she approaches it rhythmically, she’s got so many jazz influences. It’s something else and you can just feel it. With Georgia Anne Muldrow Presents Ms. One (SomeOthaShip), she’s like J. Dilla, the legendary producer. She makes her own beats, she rhymes, she sings and she plays. If people love Amy Winehouse, they’re going to get their minds blown when they hear Georgia Anne Muldrow."[12]

In an Interview with Fader on Nov 6th 2018, Muldrow explains the style and vibe of her album. She says that "It’s an experimentation of modern music. There was a lot of 'Hmm, what would you do with a song like this?' I wanted to create something more straightforward to show these young cats that I know how to do these kind of songs."[13]
