Tricky has announced a set of North American shows, just as he's releasing his new album Mixed Race on Domino Records. It promises a global set of influences (UK, Jamaica, the US, North Africa and France) as well as a wide range of musical styles. Check out a full album preview stream here.
With it, we see some of the smoothness that Tricky has to offer, with multiple vocalists, the intertwining of various musical styles from an almost Caribbean pop sound to vampy guitar riffs to the endless build up of intensity throughout the songs.
"I used to hide in the shadows when I played live, now I perform. I used to hate doing interviews, now I feel honoured that people would be interested in what I have to say," said Tricky when talking about his new approach.
