I really don't know whether you would like it Barry, but I'll seek out her best-known song from this album (Moorlough Shore a traditional Irish love song), which is pretty representative.Quote:

I would describe her as "Celtic New Age" (I don't know if that's a genre, but that's what comes to mind). This album was produced by musician/composer/producer William Orbit, whose best-known work is probably producing Madonna's "Ray of Light" album, and it shows. His production methods run through this like "Blackpool" in a stick of rock. He's done a fair bit of what I would describe as "electronic classical", he had a fairly big hit in the 90s with his take on Barber's Adagio for Strings, and did an album called "Pieces in a Modern Style" which I'll be putting on next.
Here you go Barry, see what you think.

I bought this about ten years ago, didn't like it, and left it on the shelf. Until today. Giving it another go.
My laptop's being a bit of a dick this afternoon, timing out when trying to navigate AoS. Took four goes to get this one posted. Everywhere else is fine :scratch:

Well, here you are, all you modern day solo female artist fans on here; this is an album VERY influenced by "Ray Of Light" era Madonna, trip hop and modern electronic dance music and strangely track 7 reminds me of Kate Bush mixed with a dance beat............. FKA Twigs - 2025 - Eusexua. Give it a whirl, see what you think; unusually for me, I quite like this in places (but in saying that, I do like a lot of stuff!!!)
If I've put this up here, especially as a lot of you know my views about modern day solo female artists etc. & modern pop music in general, it must be worth a listen!! :thumbsup:
If you think it's fkn shite, no problem.......... I quite understand!! :lol:
A new one on me! And I love Massive Attack, and William Orbit! It sounds lovely. Cheers Steve!Quote:
