The ever-inventive Tricky is set to release his latest album on September 27 with Mixed Race. It promises a global set of influences (UK, Jamaica, the US, North Africa and France) as well as a wide range of musical styles; Trick-ola always brings a diverse set of influences to his songs.
"Every album is a learning experience and this is concentrated music, there’s no dilution. I’m comfortable in my own skin now, comfortable with being in the light," said Tricky. "I’ve spent my life going between cultures; Mixed Race is about that, and in a very direct way.”
Guest appearances on Mixed Race include Franky Riley, Terry Lynn, Bobby Gillespie, Hakim Hamadouche, Blackman and Tricky's bro Marlon Thaws. Real bro, by blood.
