Massive Attack recruit MartinaGuy Garvey spills the beans on trip-hop duo's team up with Tricky singer by Damian Jones Martina Topley-Bird is set to work with fellow Bristolians Massive Attack on their new album. The singer, who has previously worked with Tricky, is to sing on a track Robert Del Naja and Elbow frontman Guy Garvey have written together. "One of them that is sounding really great at the moment is a tune called Red Light which Rob and I have been working on for about a year and a half and Martina Topley-Bird is giving voice to my lyrics," Garvey revealed on his Finest Hour show. "It's a bit of a dream come true to have Martina singing my words on a Massive Attack song." Garvey said the pair have written five or six songs so far for their first studio album in six years. Topley-Bird joins a host of stars who have worked with the trip hop duo on their previous albums including Sinead O'Connor, Horace Andy, Tricky, Tracey Thorn, Shara Nelson, Elizabeth Fraser and Damon Albarn. Garvey also revealed that his own band were influenced by the duo's sound during their early days. "The whole trip-hop Bristol scene was very much part of Elbow’s make-up," he added. "It really shaped us and nudged us forward a little bit. It's definitely part of our sound." Topley-Bird featured on Tricky's 1995 debut album Maxinquaye, Nearly God, Pre-Millennium Tension and Angels With Dirty Faces. www.bbc.co.uk/6music/news/20090713_martina.shtml

He will be joined by TV On The Radio's Tunde Adebimpe and Martina Topley Bird on the "Splitting The Atom" EP. Four tracks are due to feature, two in remix form, titled "Splitting The Atom", "Pray For Rain", "Psyche" and "Bulletproof Love". Due for release in October, this will mark the first new Massive Attack material since "100th Window" in 2003. uk.news.launch.yahoo.com/dyna/article.html?a=/090826/340/ipru9.html&e=l_news_dm-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't think the October date is actually, you know, accurate. But hey, we got Third last year, so this album, whatever its actual title is, will see the light of day as well. ;)

Massive Attack and Guy Garvey would be an orgasmic combination.

I think it did, but it was the MySpace rip.
