Genre: trip hop Rating:  Check Out: “Open Wider,” “In The Deep,” “Come Be With Me,” and “Wicked Little High (Drawn To You)”  myspace, website |
This album was my first foray into trip hop, and I must admit that I’m now highly interested in finding more from this genre. Every song tells a story, and when mixed with the music you are literally transported into the story itself. This album needs to be listened to in darkness or just with your eyes closed.
My favorite songs here are “Open Wider,” “Save Me,” and the famous “In The Deep” from the Crash soundtrack, though I suggest you listen to all of The Velvet Hour. Bird’s voice is intoxicatingly lazy and powerful when she wants it to be.
