What is Kadhja Bonet’s highest note? Not sure, but she certainly gets up there in the last minute of “Mother Maybe,” a groovy, introspective song that announces her sophomore album “Childqueen.” The follow-up to her 2016 debut, “The Visitor,” “Childqueen” will be out via Fat Possum on June 8. The album title refers to one’s innermost self, and throughout the songs Bonet is urging the listener to go on a quest to connect with that self, providing a soulful soundtrack to examine that reflection. Bonet wrote, played, produced and mixed every note on the album over a two-year period in studios all over the world. She says “This record crushed my ego, and I’m surprised I’m still alive.”
