He says Martina Topley Bird is the queen of pop electronic Doppelganger. He says it's impossible to pigeonhole into one category, and that his music constantly changes its skin, like his hair now afro hours punk, gospel hour, now rasta.
says the singer, Tricky's former partner, has just published the hard summer, "Some simple place" (Honest Jon's Records), one of the most beautiful in all of 2010.
says that, after two years from the previous extraordinary "The Blue God" the young singer was invited to Bristol by "Prezzemolina" Damon Albarn in his studies for reincidere some old songs, and something new, a new look, lighter, more vital, more alive. The production is there but does not feel, like all great records, and instruments are cut to the bone: toy keyboards, wurlitzer ukulele, samples, MBox, loopstation, and, over all, the unique and magical voice of Martina unattainable.
hear her sing that says "Phoenix", for example, it seems that Billie Holiday never dead, only younger.
Martina says that recently has been invited to live by Massive Attack, and that its interpretation of "Teardrop" had created a sort of shock in the audience, accustomed to the voice of Liz Fraser nightingale but glacial.
says that the undersigned has used a song from Martina's first solo album "Quixotic", unnoticed, for a commercial.
PHOENIX
I will stay for this last transformation,
From Where We Start it soon gets Precarious,
I will stay for this last transformation,
Beauty and tragedy released in the end.
