Mississippi-born singer Cassandra Wilson (1955) relocated to New York in 1982 where she became the most famous member of the M-Base Collective.

Most of her albums are collections of covers sung in a derivative register.

She blossomed with New Moon Daughter (1995), when she started borrowing from the whole canon of popular music (folk, blues, country, soul, rock) to mold her own voice, a project continued on Belly of the Sun (2002) and Glamoured (march 2003), that feature more of her own compositions, but often interrupted by tedious collections of covers.
