100 favourite songs: #31: "Teardrop" - Massive Attack

Though I didn’t realise it at the time, my introduction to the glory that is Liz Fraser’s voice, and what an introduction — the song is heavy and dramatic and glistening and ecstatic, beats falling like raindrops on textures of deepest velvet, all wreathed in the flutters and swoops of Fraser’s unearthly coos. Really beautiful.
