	Vol.VIII Ep.005 Wikipedia Lyrics
Info: Martina Topley-Bird (born 7 May 1975, St Pancras, London) is an English vocalist and songwriter. It was while she was a teenager at the school that she met trip hop pioneer Tricky, with whom she worked as female vocalist on his first album Maxinquaye (a printing error credited her as "Martine"). She continued her collaboration with Tricky on his follow-up albums Nearly God, Pre-Millennium Tension and Angels with Dirty Faces. She gave birth to Tricky's daughter around the release of Maxinquaye. Following a falling-out of their professional and personal relationship in 1998, she began pursuing a solo career. It was not until 2003 that she released her debut album, Quixotic. Upon its release, it received positive reviews from critics and was a finalist for the 2003 Mercury Music Prize. Her second solo album, The Blue God, was released in May 2008. The track "Carnies" was released as the first single in March 2008 and reached No.20 on the UK Indie Charts. "Poison" was released as the second single and reached No.9 on the Indie Charts. In 2010, Topley-Bird appeared on the album Heligoland by Massive Attack, lending her voice on the tracks "Psyche" and "Babel". She also toured with Massive Attack as their support act and providing guest vocals. Topley-Bird's third album, Some Place Simple, was released in July 2010. It contained stripped-down versions of songs from her first two releases, along with four new songs.
