#AddieBrik - "Saki" (2004)
Another American ex-pat who like me lives in Scotland, Addie Brik has been making mysterious, thought-provoking pop music for over 40 years now. Initially in a #PostPunk torch singer vein backed by guys from #WallOfVoodoo & #RedHotChiliPeppers, she then pivoted into dancefloor-based #TripHop in the 90s/early 2000s, and finally matured into a worldweary singer-songwriter on 2022's That Dog Don't Hunt. I like it all, esp. bits like "Saki" that have a distinctly groovy #RAndB feel.
