Tricky - Adrian Thaws flac album

Adrian Nicholas Matthews Thaws (born 27 January 1968), better known by his stage name Tricky, is an English record producer,rapper and actor. Born and raised in Bristol, he began his career as an early collaborator of Massive Attack before embarking on a solo career with his debut album, Maxinquaye, in 1995. The release won Tricky popular acclaim and marked the beginning of a lengthy collaborative partnership with vocalist Martina Topley-Bird

Calling it Adrian Thaws is saying you don’t really know me, says Tricky, explaining the title of his 11th album. So many times people have tried to put a finger on me and every album I go to a different place. It’s typical of one of music’s most unpredictable characters that the first album to bear his birth name is one of his least introspective. Adrian Thaws is a vivid, attention-grabbing set of songs which roamfrom hip hop to house, jazz to blues, rock to reggae. It was recorded in Tricky’s home studio in London, where he’s living again after almost two decades in New York, Los Angeles.

Adrian Thaws is the tenth studio album by English trip hop musician Adrian Thaws, known professionally as Tricky. Recorded at Tricky's home studio in London, the album was released on 8 September 2014, through Tricky's own record label False Idols. The album features guest contributions from various artists, including Nneka, Mykki Blanco, Oh Land, NoLay and Blue Daisy.

Calling it Adrian Thaws is saying you don’t really know me, says Tricky of his 11th album.

Adrian Thaws is out now on False Idols in association with !K7 Records

Ultimately, this is another Tricky album that drags the diminished expectations of anyone who’s heard Maxinquaye behind it, making a once-great work feel ever more like a millstone. At least he doesn’t appear tortured by his past-this is a quick follow up to last year’s False Idols, implying that Tricky is in a fertile period, happy to be making music, out on his own imprint, and free of any label woes. At least Tricky inspires loyalty in those he works with, including singer Francesca Belmonte, who returns to the fold to appear on a handful of Adrian Thaws tracks. Belmonte’s contributions, and those of promising London-based artist Tirzah (on "Sun Down" and a cover of Janet Kay’s "Silly Games") edge a little too close to work Tricky has undertaken elsewhere, occasionally replicating the g cadence of former collaborator Martina Topley-Bird.
