After Bjork recruited her as a band member and co-writer,
Leila launched a solo career on the electronic fringes of
avant-garde pop. In gestation for eight years, during which
both her parents died, Leila's third album could have been a
sombre affair. In fact, it is her warmest and richest record
yet; a perfumed patchwork of ambient textures, hip-hop beats,
sci-fi lullabies and snaking reggae.
Martina Topley-Bird, Terry Hall and Leila's sister Roya
provide guest vocals on soulful sound paintings that evoke
Massive Attack and Goldfrapp. Aside from a trippy
deconstruction of the Beatles' Norwegian Wood, this is exotic,
eclectic and exquisite.
