Tricky's Honest Playlist: Music, Memories, and Unexpected Connections
Trip-hop icon Tricky reveals his candid thoughts on music and intimacy, admitting he doesn't believe in "getting jiggy" to songs. When it comes to karaoke, he'd opt for Cyndi Lauper, a surprising choice for the influential artist.
Delving into the personal impact of music, Tricky shares a poignant story about the first song he fell in love with. At fifteen, while dating a Jamaican girl, he and his partner frequently listened to "Night Nurse" by Gregory Isaacs. Their relationship led to the birth of their daughter at seventeen, who is now thirty-five and a social worker in Bristol. This enduring connection ensures the song remains deeply embedded in his memory.
Another track that evokes strong emotions is Van Morrison's "Astral Weeks." Tricky explains that this song reminds him of his mother and his upbringing in Bristol. The lyrics, which describe a mother dressing her child and showing them pictures, resonate deeply with his own childhood experiences. He fondly recalls how his mother always ensured he looked "proper" in every photograph, often dressed in a shirt and tie.
