During my last visit to Alosta's state-of-the-art library I stumbled across 'The Blue God', the second album of Tricky's ex, Martina Topley-Bird. After releasing her 2003 debut album 'Quixotic' (single 'Sandpaper Kisses' got some airplay and was picked for the soundtrack of the popular videogame 'Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy') she collaborated with the likes of Jon Spencer('s Blues Explosion), Gorillaz and Diplo. Her second baby was conceived with the help of superproducer Brian Burton aka Danger Mouse, whose vintage sound perfectly suits Martina's soft and sexy voice. Singles 'Carnies', 'Poison' and 'Baby Blue' (extremely catchy) are very enjoyable, but 'Something To Say' and 'Phoenix' are worth checking out as well. More Danger Mouse soon!
