Notes

This week’s playlist was built of the foundation of Tricky and Martina Topley-Bird. The 2020 album, Fall to Pieces by Tricky came into my orbit the week before, but I decided to save it for listening this past week. Tricky was a name that came up in my formative years of music listening though I had not yet developed the nuance to fully appreciate the producer’s sensibilities apart from liking that “dark sound”. However, there’s so much more to it and no one really does trip-hop like Tricky does.

The same way no one really sings like how Martina Topley-Bird does. Most recognisable in some of her collaborations with Massive Attack I am glad that attention has been brought to her solo work as well.

From here, the rest of the playlist continues to brood and trundle along, seemingly in a haze of weariness and lost passions.
