Welcome back, Tracey




Tracey Thorn has a new album out, and while she hasn't abandoned the often melancholy introspection of much of her work with Everything But the Girl, there are hints of humor, satisfaction and romantic contentment. I also love that she's playing around more with the upper register of her voice -- little upticks here and there add a touch of grace and light. The production also pulls back from the house music style (drum 'n bass) of later Everything But the Girl albums, sounding more 'organic', I suppose. If you enjoy EBTG, especially their earlier releases, take a listen to Tracey's new one, "Love and Its Opposite".
