On va la faire simple, voici la liste (forcément suggestive et mettant de coté d'autres choses peut-être plus essentielles) des 20 titres que j'ai préféré cette année, avec des morceaux techniquement sortis en 2006 et d'autres qui sortiront peut-être vraiment en 2008, hé hé. 20-P.DIDDY & KEYSHIA COLE "Last night" Au risque de choquer c'était pour moi le single r'n'b de l'année, largement devant ceux de Timbaland et Rihanna qui semblent avoir [...]
A Distant Shore ; Tracey Thorn'un -daha sonra kocası olacak- Ben Watt ile tanışıp Eve rything But the Girl birlikteliklerini başlatmadan önce, ilk pratiği Marine Girls ekibini dağıttıktan sonra, 1982'de yayınladığı ilk solo albümünün ismi. Böylesine sıkışık bir zamanda kotarılmasından da anlayabiliriz ki; rahatlama, kişisel ilhamlarla iş görme amacı taşıyor. Zaten akustik gitarlar eşliğinde söylenen şarkılarda da büyük bir samimiyet ve çıplaklık hissediliyor. Tracey Thorn'un Nico'u andıran vokal anlayışında varolan hüzünle birleşen bir sadelik, yirmi üç dakikalık bu kısa albümde kendisini ele veriyor. Mp3: Tracey Thorn [...]
Sorry for the lack of updates over the past couple of days, everyone. I was away at the Parklife festival on the weekend, and, well, the less said about that douche-filled-day the better. In that time, this little blog was added to the Hype Machine , and our ratings, err, our hits have spiked. Fucking spiked. Which has meant that server space has been rapidly depleted. And I'm still recovering. So, sorry kids. Old links are all dead, but most will be back up soon. I swear. In the meantime, it's time for a new Remix [...]
When I went through a major trip-hop kick around the turn of the century, Everything But The Girl's "Temperamental" and "Walking Wounded" albums were regular listening. They still stand up pretty well as examples of late-90s electro-pop and the jungly beats haven't dated badly. But it's been a long time and music has moved on a lot. So what do we make of Tracey Thorn's solo album circa 2007? This from a woman who already reinvented herself in the mid-90s as an indie dance icon after a decade and a half of soft jazz-pop? [...]

"Do you ever think about that walk to the station?" Tracey Thorn ~ By Picadilly Circus I Sat Down and Wept from Out of the Woods by Tracey Thorn
2007 really seems to be hitting its stride as far as new releases go. While I'm still not as on top of things as I'd ideally like be, there have been a number of new releases that I've taken to, as well as the continual process of exploring older works. Of course, old favorites are still very much in force, but that's why they're favorites. Incidentally, I've got a feature on Mahogany in today's Washington Square News , and I may end up putting up a full transcription of the interview around Thursday, when [...]
Here's a record that I'd give to my upstairs neighbor if only I was a lot nicer. I don't know the dude, but he's always bumping Madonna's Confession on the Dance Floor and lately, he's thrown in a bit of Kylie Minogue. Knowing that he's into dance music, I think he'll dig...
London, England Sometimes it's tough for a musician to gain credability as a solo artist after being part of a successful team. However, that's not the case with Tracey Thorn . It's been twenty-five years since her first solo record, and this EBTG songstress has truly amazed me on her second one, entitled Out Of The Woods . Already available in the UK, this one is out tomorrow here in the States. "Easy" Tracey Thorn on MySpace
Rating: 6.5/10 Modern Music Review First solo album in 25 years from the female half of Everything But The Girl (her first solo album, A Distant Shore, was recorded just prior to the formation of EBTG in 1982). On this album, Thorn collaborates with Tom Gandey (AKA Cagedbaby) and Ewan Pearson amongst others. Tracey Thorn's disappearance for over twenty years is the birth of this heavy lighted
You have my permission to go nuts over this . Go ahead...it's alright. Sorry about my feeling sorry for myself yesterday. Like I wrote then, some days are harder than others. Though I don't owe you people anything, consider this a make-up present: Tracey Thorn - It's All True (Kris Menace Remix Full Vocal)

Revival 90's, nouvel et sûrement pas dernier épisode. Deux chanteuses emblématiques de l'époque sortent ces jours-ci leurs premières escapades en solo. Jill Cunniff faisait partie des Luscious Jackson, groupe New Yorkais aux disques de groove pop aussi parfaits que méconnus, déjà à l'honneur sur ce site et dont un best-of est prévu dans la foulée. "City beach" est un peu plombé par une production ampoulée mais la qualité d'écriture et la suavité de sa voix sont toujours là. L'Anglaise Tracey Thorn a eu plus de chance [...]
La voz y corazón de Everything But The Girl está de regreso. Sí, es verdad. Tracey Thorn con todo y su voz melancólica-fantasmagórica está a punto de lanzar su álbum solista. Ella anunció recientemente a través de MySpace que el disco, llamado Out Of The Woods , fue terminado después de un año de trabajo y que el sencillo "It's All True" ya está en circulación. Con esto, podemos decir que oficialmente está también de regreso en las pistas de baile porque los remixes no se hicieron esperar. Más tracks [...]
Tracey Thorn is currently working on a debut solo album , covering the Pet Shop Boys and having some space from Ben: "After years of making records with Ben, it just seemed time to take a break, and do something fresh... I've got together with a few different producers/collaborators, and we've come up with a record that (I hope) is a true reflection of who I am right now and what I love right now." She's listing these as her influences: Nicos Chelsea Girls, the Au Pairs [...]
