The Nerdette team recently moved next to the crew at Sound Opinions, WBEZ\\u2019s long-running rock n\\u2019 roll talk show. We bring that up because last year that team reviewed Dessa\\u2019s latest album, \\u201cChime,\\u201d and not only did they call it \\u201cbrilliant,\\u201d they called Dessa \\u201ca renaissance woman in the truest sense.\\u201d

That\\u2019s because Dessa is a rapper, singer, author, poet, and whiskey co-creator. And she even participated in an \\u201cEternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind\\u201d-type procedure in an attempt to remove memories from a painful relationship.

Greta talks to Dessa about all of that. And we listen to some of the amazing tracks on \\u201cChime.\\u201d
