Artist:
Tricky
After defining the trip-hop genre with his 1995 debut, Maxinquaye, subsequent efforts made us wonder if gravel-voiced visionary Tricky had finally smoked one blunt too many. But on his latest platter, the Trickster has recruited a truly weird array of guest stars with surprisingly sweet results. Whether hes rocking out with the Red Hot Chili Peppers (Girls) or croaking through a duet with no less than Cyndi Lauper (Five Days), Tricky ensures that Blowback is a hit worth tasting.
