Here’s one I totally forgot about until recently: Esthero feat. Danny Saber – “Song For Holly”. From the Go soundtrack circa 1999.
I was obsessed with a bunch of female trip-hoppy/downtempo stuff around this period – Sneaker Pimps, Morcheeba and of course Esthero (for some reason I never got into Portishead though). I think we need to see a resurgence of this kind of stuff – I miss it.
I haven’t really been following Esthero since her initial releases around the turn of the century. She’s still just as talented, but I think she needs to go back to working with less mainstream artists to really capture my attention again. Snug, maybe? 😉
Interesting side note: I think this is maybe the second vocal track I’ve posted for Throwback, which which goes to show how little vocal music I actually listen to! Either I’m really picky about vocals, just don’t care about them, or both.
