Is very difficult when an artist that is been related to a band or multiple bands can come out of the light and become a single artist with new breed and a style totally different from the past. Lucky for us Tracy Thorn did it, well know for two great things, she is the voice of Massive Attack in the album "Protection" a masterpiece which combine a great ensemble of singers such as Tricky and Nicolette. Tracy have two tracks in this album, the name of the album itself and "Better things", the other band related to this amazing woman with such a particular voice is "Everything but the Girl" well know by great disco or dance songs, like "Wrong", "The Future of the Future , "Temperamental", "Five Fathoms" and the hit "Like the Dessert Miss the Rain".
With the album "Out the Woods" Tracy Thorn do her best to separate herself of all those sounds from the past an create something that make her different from this bands, not because she thinks that is time to not be the voice of Massive Attack or EVBG is more create a unique sound. "It's all true" the first single of the album we found a wonderful performer with electronic sounds that can be 80's style with some brazilian touch. "Get Around to it" reminds me a little bit to EVBG but not too much, why she use certain percussion more cheerful. Her lyrics are more in deep, more personal, "Grand Canyon" which is one of my favorites is very dance song with experimental sequences... definitely i love it. The romantic and melancholic song which start the album "Here It Comes Again" she prove that Tracy Thorn is way beyond the past or roots, she can separate herself from there and stand on a stage and perform with style and strength.
A truly recommended album
