This is the second part of a 7 inch set, see scans of the 7 inches here. > Tricky: "I needed an English
label to do that, and to bring me home. Epitaph
was a great label for me. But they had no
presence in England. This is my home country.
I’m moving back soon, and I wanted to make an
English album." < |

You can listen to all the songs at 7 Digital.
The vocalists are not mentioned for each song in
the booklet, so here are their names (sometimes
the songs are just named after them): Alex Mills
('Puppy Toy'), Veronika Coassolo ('Veronika', the
lyrics are also written by her), Joseph Franklin
Hunt - a man who sang on the street ('Joseph'),
Rodigan ('Bacative' and 'Baligaga'), Lubna Mhaer
('Past Mistake' and 'School Gates'), Hafdis Huld
('Cross To Bear'). > Tricky: "Knowle West is where I
was born. It's a white ghetto. I didn't know
what racism was until I left." <
> This album was done for my
fans, because for five years I’ve been getting
e-mails to my fan website ‘we miss you’, all
this beautiful stuff, and I’m like ‘fuck, I’ve
taken all these people for granted, I’ve got to
make an album for them’. <

Murder Weapon
Mixed digital download / Domino Records RUG376D / 29. August 2010 7 inch / Domino Records RUG376 / 30. August 2010 |
|
|||||||
This is the first single from the upcoming album "Mixed Race". Both tracks feature Franky Riley (Francesca Belmonte) on vocals. "Murder Weapon" is a cover of Echo Minott (Noel Phillips) from the year 1993, "Piece Of Me" is written by Christian Karlsson, Klas Ahlund and Pontus Winnberg and is a cover of a Britney Spears song from her 2007 album "Blackout". You can listen to "Piece of me" here, here or here or buy it on Amazon. <Tricky: "It isn’t just that I
love the song – it’s also a part of my life. I
moved into my sister’s place years ago, and
some people from her estate hated people from
my estate. We went into this shop and one of
the guys who had problems with my friends
started singing “Murder Weapon” to me, as a
threat. I’ve never forgotten it.">
<Tricky: "The reason there’s a
music box playing at the beginning is because
of my good friend Charles. His mum had
epilepsy and so did mine. He spent 13 years in
the foreign legion, he’d been to 13 of my
gigs, and I’ve got a 13 tattooed on my neck.
He’s not a musician, and making him play the
music box and recording it was a way of
getting him on my album.">

The Japanese version has one bonus
track (buy it here),
which you can also buy on iTunes:
Strangely there are no credits in the booklet of the CD, see scans of the release here. The female vocals on the album are by Francesca Belmonte, who called herself Franky Riley at that time. She also wrote all the lyrics of "Ghetto Stars". "Really Real" features Bobby Gillespie on vocals, "Bristol To London" Blackman and Tricky's brother Marlon Thaws. The singer on "UK Jamaican" is Terry Lynn and it's a sort of re-recording of her song "Kingston Logic". Tricky said in an interview that he will also be on her next album. The name of that should be "The Reason" and it was supposed to be released in 2011, as you can read here, but up to now it hasn't been released. Terry Lynn died in 2021, so it will probably never come out. In this article you can read that one track produced by Tricky and Wildlife is called "In This Time" and was used in a TV series called Nikita. You can see the scene in the article, too, or on Vimeo directly. "Hakim" is named after Hakim Haramouche, who plays guitar and sings on that song. <Tricky: “I can’t do gangsta rap.
That’s not me. I can’t talk about being a bad
boy, ‘cos I’m not. But I’ve been around that.
So this is the closest I can get to a gangsta
album. It’s very gully, as Jamaicans call it…
very dark. Tense, street and urban. It’s like
a movie, almost.”>

Ghetto
Stars digital download / Domino Records RUG386D / November 2010 |
|
||||||
This is a one-track download single. As you can read on Trickynerd's blog there was also a vinyl single announced and you could download a b-side from Domino for a while (“Ghetto Stars” french version feat. Coeur de Pirate). <Tricky: "I wrote all
Franky’s lyrics except this one. I just played
her this dark, heavy track which I only had a
chorus for, went out for a couple of hours,
and… wow. She wrote exactly what I was
thinking. It’s a gangster song, that tells it
straight without glamorising it.">

Tricky signed Fifi Rong later to his own label "False Idols", starting 2013 (see below). She did another version of her remix that is yet unreleased, you could listen to it on her Soundcloud, but not anymore. <Tricky: "The closest I’m ever
gonna get to disco.">
