Massive Attack - ''Teardrop''
(Monday April 13, 1998 2:22 PM
)
Released on 13/04/1998
Label: Virgin
Cocteau Twin Liz Fraser's sublime, folky vocals provide the perfect foil to the Massive Attack's trio's metronome-like backing on this haunting first single from Massive's third album Mezzanine. An inspired choice of guest singer, she more than measures up to the standards set by Shara Nelson and Tracey Thorn on Massive's previous albums, her undecipherable lyrics adding an intriguing edge. A remix by the Scream Team removes the beats and adds guitar by Paul Weller and Kevin Shields, while the Mad Professor's mix employs the blissful dub effects last heard on the No Protection album. As a bonus, there's an updated version of Eurochild from the last album, 3D and Daddy G's rapping adding their own take on the Millennium alongside Horace Andy's plaintive vocal. Press interest in the Mezzanine album has been intense, and a world tour starts on April 18.
