Il reuccio è tornato, più solare che mai in questo suo settimo album. Basta ascoltare il singolo “Anti-Matter”, degno degli ultimi Morcheeba, per rendersi conto di essere purtroppo anni luce dalle sonorità oscure, decadenti (e irraggiungibili) degli esordi.

Eppure Tricky riesce a metterci del suo anche nelle mutazioni pop e non si può dargli torto quando dichiara “potrei non essere l’artista migliore del mondo, ma sono l’unico ad avere un suono completamente personale”. Forse non l’unico, ma sicuramente c’è del vero nelle sue parole: anche in Vulnerable il ritmo è spesso aritmia, incalzante e affilato, pulsante ed elettrico, mai anonimo. Alla Tricky, insomma.

Merito anche della reginetta di turno, l’italianissima Costanza Francavilla, che con la sua ugola da lolita ricorda da vicino la sensualissima voce di Martina in Pre-Millenium Tension. Affascinanti i suoi sussurri in “Dear God” e il suo duettare con i rantolii di Tricky in “Stay” o nella cover di “Lovecats” dei Cure. Sicuramente la sorpresa più bella è lei.

Per il resto un album più solare ed orecchiabile (per non dire a tratti commerciale) dei precedenti. Basterebbe questo per farlo volare dalla finestra. Se non fosse Tricky. Infatti è ancora lì che gira.

01   Stay (03:52)

Don't wanna stay

I don't really care or share with you
I would rather walk alone
I'm forgetting where I was
I don't really think it's fair of you
I would rather stay at home
I'm forgetting just because

Don't wanna stay or lay with you
Don't want another day,
day with you
Don't wanna stay
(Don't wanna)

No don't try to manipulate
I would rather take control
I'm knowing where I was
Don't you ever try to feel my hate
I would rather feel nothing
I know we're losing love

Don't wanna stay or lay with you
Don't want another day,
day with you
Don't wanna stay or lay with you
Don't want another day,
day with you
Don't wanna stay

I don't really care or share with you
I would rather walk alone
I'm forgetting where I was
I don't really think it's fair of you
I would rather stay at home
I'm forgetting just because

Don't wanna stay
(Don't wanna stay with you x2)
(Don't want another day)

02   Antimatter (03:03)

Tricky & Costanza:
I’m antimatter
I don’t matter
Cancer phones
Break my bones

I’m illusion
Sonic solution
Magic mind
Sonic pollution

I just detox
I just see lots
I see nothing
Show me something

We go round and round
We make it safe and sound
I try to break it down
Alright
(2x)

I have visions
Homosapiens
Fast I’ve grown
I think alone
I’m confusion

Evolution
I’m in man cub
Institution
I move forward
I make awkward

I just jump jump
I just thump thump

We go round and round
We make it safe and sound
I try to break it down
Alright
(2x)

I evolve
Then dissolve
Maintain my laws
‘til April falls

My sea runs red
My trees are dead
My breath runs short
Please report

Is there someone out there
Is there someone out there
Do you receive me
Do you receive me

We go round and round
We make it safe and sound
I try to break it down
Alright
(repeated)

03   Ice Pick (03:09)

04   Car Crash (03:46)

05   Dear God (03:51)

06   How High (03:12)

If I say jump jump
You say how high
Standing like a mannequin
Mannequins don't fly
Don't swim don't grin
Take it like a real man
Take it fake it
Then she ran

I try to show you
But I don't know you
I try to know you
But I can't grow you

Watch
See me how I fly fast
See me how I fly past
No time for rest separate
For the rest separate
For the rest now
Watch
See me how I fly fast
See me how I fly past

Please you will move quick
You're making me real sick
No go no chance
I don't slow I don't dance

I try to show you
But I don't know you
I try to know you
But I can't grow you

Watch
See me how I fly fast
See me how I fly past
No time for rest separate
For the rest separate
For the rest now
Watch
See me how I fly fast
See me how I fly past

If I say jump jump
You say how high
Standing like a mannequin
Mannequins don't fly
Don't swim don't grin
Take it like a real man
Take it fake it
Then she ran
(2X)

I try to show you
But I don't know you
I try to know you
But I can't grow you

07   What Is Wrong (03:37)

08   My Mermaid (04:09)

09   Moody (03:20)

(Tricky)
It's my world
It's my world

(Tricky & Costanza)
Running
Breathing
Deceiving
Take and make
What you breath in
Know me
Show me
Hardly
No you can't A&R me

(Costanza Francavilla)
I pretend I don't exist
I close my eyes and wish
Taste like liquorice
And sound so devilish
Slide across the floor
Move a little more
Take a sip & pour
I've heard it all before

(Chorus: Tricky & Costanza)
It's my world
Gonna take it now
Make it now
Make it shout
All this green
Gonna make me mean
Make me dream
Make me skim
(2x)

(Constanza Francavilla)
I'm feeling
Feeling
Craw across the ceiling
In the day mix
They play cheap tricks
I pretend I don't exist
Close my eyes and wish
My thoughts are devilish
My thoughts are just a wish

Chorus

(Tricky)
It's funny how you feel
The eyes in your head
The brain and spine
Releases fluid when you're dead
Then you start to shed
Turning to something else instead
Something else was said
Someone else�s sunset was red

Chorus

10   Wait For God (04:03)

11   Where I'm From (02:49)

12   Search, Search, Survive (03:06)
