Martina Topley-Bird - Anything

[interpolluter29]

I know it's incredibly cliche for me to say this, but...I listened to Anything weeks ago. It blows most R&B music here straight out of the water. For those who haven't heard it, when you find a copy, listen to it, and you will see what I mean.

[Mee551able]

everyone needs food and drink. : /

[soundseeker63]

Something tells me she likes the colour black.

[grzechu1987]

I discovered her thanks to Massive Attack. Great artist.

[DiaDuit2]

Great song! <3

[ishereal1991]

Im so glad i bought Commons Universal Mind Control album. Without it i would have most likely never discovered this simply amazing artist :)

[03139610]

The Weeknd brought me here.

[Eternalux]

i love this video, it's like a dream. another great piece of art by floria sigismondi.

[harleyh3]

she's awesome... thanks stumbleupon

[eternallegend2007]

i only know she exists because of farenheit lol

[MrsMekaMarie]

Martina,tricky,portishead,gold­frapp...all the very best of trip hop

[IntheSkyWifDiamondz]

I just discovered her 2day. Ohmygod <3 Just completely amazing. Its nice to be able to listen to such gentle soothing music when all this horrible rap and mainstream is around me. British music artists are far better than the American ones these days

[litlbastard44]

martina has such a wonderfull aura,and her voice goes along with that,saw her live last summer with massive attack.and I have to say that her relationship with tricky(musical and love)is just a bonus.:)

[adebrysi]

i saw her live and it was awesoooooooooome! beautiful person all the way around!

[athletics1212]

Those "brits" are totally on another level......

[VSPLEEN]

video by Floria Sigismondi ! a genius Love Martina's dreamy vocals

[trudoll]

eerie ...

i like her.

[juliandeathgod]

gorgeous

[BikinikilI]

I heard her in the Gorillaz song "All Alone" she sings an amazing part and i thought id find more on her;; Im really suprised she isnt bigger

[chinahands100]

listened 2 this album like mad on holiday in garn canaria..played it loud..so i cld sleep over the stupid chavs outside  :D

[cardosomanuel2]

[Strangz]

She's a Sparkling Avatar, or something? xDD

[triphopandnomore]

Me encanta martina xo esta cancion no me dice nada...

[Dralerv]

I love this song!

[ardeleanalex]

She is so lovely... 

[jtarantula3390]

[sashisashimi]

I love the transformation at 3:38

[sashisashimi]

MASTERPIECE... Just cant stop watching

[twistedsister1975]

Martina is absolutely stunning.

[sashisashimi]

Amazing... Just amazing. Damn this shit is hot !!!:-)

[anateboteo]

Hollow : Tricky :)

[pancon5]

Apologies for abusing this space a little bit, but there is this trip hop song with female voice that I just can't find out what it's called.

The tempo and beat are similar to "Aftermath" and the voice is processed and sounds quite similar to Martina's voice in Tricky's "Singin' the Blues".

Something like "and I try try try" and then something like "and I die, die, die" or "cry, cry, cry" is heard at the chorus (I could be wrong about the lyrics).

Any ideas? I'll be eternally grateful!

[hairylee01]

@pancon5 Just from those lyrics, it sounds like you mean 'Unreadable Communication' by Curve. Another awesome but unfortunately now defunct band.

[hairylee01]

@pancon5

Only other song I reckon it could be is 'I Cry' by Lamb.

I'm all outta ideas after that! It's a pretty song anyway, so if you haven't heard it before, this wasn't a total waste of time :P

[badlot2012]

FANTASTICO !!!

[kina483]

magical..

[wander910]

gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[jtarantula3390]

she is so cool, so talented, so amazing

[IreneJalenti]

[terrorbirne79]

Danke Baby, für all die schönen Stunden die wir zusammen erleben durften!

great production in this song

[elricsfate]

very good song. Should listen to it on "Roadkill:The Mixtape" they mix in a really good drum beat.

[Gnilretsam]

@elricsfate I think it's called Let em bleed:the mix tape

Google it

[elricsfate]

@Gnilretsam There is one by the Gorillaz that includes this song called Roadkill:The Mixtape. I will be sure to check yours out though.

[peppi235]

OMG I am flying

[misslizzy80]

wow, su voz es simplemente embriagante...excelente!

[Zombiieee]

Martina Topley-Bird , this song is a beautiful...haunting ballad; you have a very beautiful voice; Thank u for the beauty (::

[ThePsychoEwok]

Majestic.

[impactrecords2010]

im an 80 s baby my generation has no appreciation for beauty....this is beautiful, and martina is dream chick for real

[Aueneye]

A criminally underrated talent. Stunning.

[poszmecucc]

i don't need anything....but you........

[abe2881]

so beautiful ....

[usernamewitheld]

She produces the type of music that should be on soundtracks....like this song, it should definitely find itself into a movie scene and a serious one...I love her...

[nickynea]

Awesome video!

[gtd007]

amaziiiiiiiing!!!!! <3

[Negnative]

like this!

[MadameBeatz]

It's amazing how well this video compliments the song sooo much. Beautiful.

[jeanlouisXIV]

Bouche à bisous...

[hoosacmissy]

amazing video, so bizzare and unique and couldnt accompany a better song

[kriptomeria]

the end reminds of bjork's cocoon video. wouldn' be suprise if the director is the same)) still - beautiful!

[fox408]

(that was a reply to gOOdtimesBADtimes comment, but it somehow got posted here!)

[miragin7]

Exquisite voice .. *****

[natrikreal]

волшебство, а не клип

[Hajalin]

Thank goodness for You Tube, without it I would never have found a lot of the amazing artists that i listen to now.

[Blackjack185]

Same here. :)

[mia999anna]

Same here XXX

[dirtchamber27]

I AGREE WITH YOU !

[luckyde1]

[jcpelly]

@Hajalin More like the internet. Thank you for the doors youve opened in my musical world

[fishingrhod]

melted now

thanks for posting

[KellBells8659]

I love this song. Totally addicted.

[g00dTimesBADtimes]

amazing! the first time i heard about her is when she colaborated w/ gorillaz in "all alone", but i've never heard her by herself. she's great, man. :D

[fox408]

check her out on tricky's 'maxinquaye' album (if you haven't already!)

[jesseecanning]

this is such a tune! can anyone recommend me any other good songs by her?

[ineed1shotoflove]

baby blue is good.

[iloatheyoutoo]

Razor Tongue, Sandpaper Kisses and Llya are some of her really good one! My personal faves!!

[crazeecreeboi26]

I good one is called Valentine. It's classy, has that 50's vibe to it.

[Quisite]

My personal fav. so far is Carnies.

[platinumgirlhalo]

why is she not as big in the USA as in Europe? i don't understand. she is so talented. im so glad she is making music again!!!

[clownshoes101]

She is big in the USA to me :D

[Ifthouonlyknew]

0:21 lovely view!

[laviniagueli]

love this video...... !!!

[brainwashingidm]

Her voice is amazing..Her music is amazing...and she's beautiful too!

[nathankings]

Man I love this song, it always reminded me of my, now ex, girlfriend. Oh well what you gonna do? Listen to more Martina obviously.

[arashiandfiends]

this video inspires me so much... and the album this song was taken from is incredible, so beautiful!

[lb02]

Love her ♥

[mjmirand]

Thanks,

...for relieving me these off line days...

...how I miss you

I love you

[sonicjay007]

she has mystery,sublime,haunting,and many more words..

[SixthTreeAtNoon]

simply...beautiful

[sonicjay007]

breathtaking song..sublime..

[superlapin62]

Une artiste magnifique !!! Une chanson magnifique aussi ^^

[comicstadt]

fine

[sdhnkr]

comment was meant for "FaultYesteryear"

[ber82]

I love her

[deliibrahim19]

see my channel for rare Tricky stuff!

(343 subscribers already...)

[BIGBOY2TON]

Wow!!

That's one SEXY woman!!!

Such a beautiful voice......

Wow!!

[maxtowle]

such a good song, would work well acoustic too

[FaultYesteryear]

i believe that, as the intellectual property of the talented ms. topley-bird, the choice to create an acoustic version is hers and hers ALONE! what you sir are suggesting is theft, pure theft and piracy, i don't think bird fnas or youtube citizens will support ideas of that nature.

[maxtowle]

no sir, NO SIR. i am 92 years old and fought on the omaha beaches for my country USA and lost my best friend jerry o'smellier, please leave me be, i'm very frail and broke 4 fingers writing this message - THAT'S HOW MUCH I CARE ABOUT MY COUNTRY!

[aermancer]

I fell into a bear pen at the zoo as a young child and was torn limb from limb. i had to have my entire body amputated. THAT'S HOW MUCH I LOVE MARTINA TOPLEY-BIRD TO BE WRITING THIS!

[sdhnkr]

either I missed the irony in that posting or you are simply retarded. hard to tell. :-)

[992171B]

She has a voice like Milla Jovovich!!! So similar!

[Galahad14of13]

Beautiful video...

[callasexperience]

shame about the camp fire dodgy cowboy guitar and the messy semi professional production that could be a great song,

[katia2828]

i see her yesterday at Barcelona in Lenny Tr. concert.

[hivver]

just perfect.... you can just touch shining feelings by hearing/watching this....

[iberollin]

Sounds Morcheeba-ish. Looks nightmare-ish.

[MAHARADHA]

really, it'ssounds like morcheeba

[nerebeht]

Does anyone know where I can get this version of Anything, as it's not the version that's on her Quixotic albumb.

I've been looking for this version for ages -it's so much better than the original. Please help!

[SweetSugarBullies]

does anyone know what the video is about? please tell me, I have been a fan of hers for awhile and I still find this video mysterious.

[loull287]

hmm... it reminds me of bjork cocoon for 1. she is naked 2. she gets covered completely by the end of the video. so i think its similar to the meaning of bjorks song... except the context. its like she reserves herself, and she is covered by something from the sky, like from nowhere... its like she is naked to show how she is without her one, vulnerable kind of. then to the end.. covered, not so vulnerable and reserved.

[aermancer]

I think of it as a little bit sadder, like in the end she is consumed by her own desire and the world moves away from her. Cocoon however is a happy song and video for how gloomy it all seems.

[cowboyBebop321]

how egotistic is that lmao

[cowboyBebop321]

i only found this cause my names topley lol

its gud tho i like alternative music

[theoriginalbenben]

tricky introduced us to not only this amazing and gifted artist, but also shara nelson and alison goldfrapp.

legend.

[trevorlsciact]

wow, amazing music video!

[flaminhotz5]

very nice

[saahir18]

It's posted on youtube now.

[ling2ling]

wow. her voice is beautiful.

[fernnchannel]

gives me the crreps and i love it for that.

[lns1988]

Is there such thing as Christian trip hop?

[sondinium]

Hopefully not.

[123spasser123]

hehe :))

[guyinthetrenchcoat]

Wahahahahahat? :p

[singsoar]

i love her and corrine bailey rae so much they sing like angels

[phephelaphi1]

She is one of my favorite singers EVER and this cd was INCREDIBLE. I hope she does another solo project.

[sadziom]

"The blue god"- coming Martina's album

[jonnabrads]

she is so talented and her record company should be absolutely ashamed for how badly this quality

album was mis promoted. It is far better than 95 percent of female artists work out there.

jonna

[Jontif]

She is like a siren... a mermaid... she'd lure you to your death and you'd be helpless, what an amazing talent she is, singer, writer, with integrity and artistic beauty... I am speechless, she is incredible

[Newtellla]

nicely said

[jin12345678]

her music definitely has a siren-like quality

its so intoxicating.

[MissOmaha]

what a voice! So unique and beautiful!

[SweetPoisonPenguin]

She's such a huge talent who's been overlooked for far too many years. Beautiful, just beautiful.

[PlatinumCashSystem]

I could kiss this woman again... and again... and again...

those lips - aye dios mio!!

[cahillgreg]

if you were let

[dantespawn666]

just, so... you cant find anything like this

[tlefteyec]

floria sigismondi did it again!!

[mmercer111]

What a talented woman! This... is... GREAT!

[apollosgirl]

She is awesome!

[ivoso]

Her voice is just like CORINNE BAILEY RAE, she is just as talented but just unfortunate, there ain't a huge label behind her, that's all!

[beketaten]

The artistry of this excites me to the point that i am concerned about my health!! :D

[stellamakkartnej]

This woman is so mysterious and unusual...She seems to have her own world in which she creates amazing art. So independent quen of underground...

[Looper213]

One of the most beautiful video's i have seen!

[westlondoncat]

I liked her voice with tricky and then went to see her solo gig about 5, 6 years ago in London, she is for me what good music is all about, intelligent lyrics, lovely melody,great voice... she is a powerful and beautiful woman. Great video too, really sensual and she acts well in the video too, really focused. I was in a trance watching this. It's my favourite of her songs, so great to get this one here.

[kristinalovesanthony]

She put you in like some kind of trance with that voice of hers I love it

[gippywitch13]

i could listen to her voice forever, really haunting but beautiful! :D

[felipesamper]

That's not Trip-hop. And Tricky? She's incomplete. Sound like pop.

[Katrinket106]

Beautiful.

[fanton2005]

shes lovely with that silvery stuff.

[mrgibran]

i got hip to her after a lil' after her appearence on demon dayz(gorillaz).glad i did.

[PlurSaveTheRave]

Trip-Hop forever!! this is quality

[tiana1017]

wow she gotta nice body, lol oh and a nice voice of course.. i luv her lipz and nose, bottom part of her face remindz me of lisa bonet

[TheRaindrops]

soo fantastic, trip hop for ever

[leontimmermans]

she's really got one of the most beautifull voices i've ever heard

[TheGrayLadyAsh]

so beautiful

[DEREKNEILSON]

She makes me wanna die (in a good way).

[bloodySunday77]

She is even better than the old Morcheeba songs. Now that I think about it, Morcheeba with her singing would be a killer combination...

[fanderetro]

dark,beautiful and sensual.the beautiful world of Martina

[desperatebeat]

martina + floria = magic

[zsoltpinter]

it can kill me when i'm down

[onastyness]

yea im in luv

[superorange42]

Does anyone know where you can get this version of the song?

[dancingstorm]

I love this song, but I wish she'd debut "Sandpaper Kisses", which is how I got introduced to her (playing Farenheit/Indigo Prophecy) as a single.

[biazac]

humm to dark..

[qkona]

no words for this...

[n0th]

This is so damn beautiful! Completely underrated!

[Pirate7X]

gorgeous & rich video & song. wow...

[makahari2000]

Good god this is beautiful.

[sakisgr]

Floria Sigismondi's dark and enchanting directing is great. One of my favorite solo Martina tracks for sure. A sweet fragile honest technoballad. Thanks for posting it.

[blackflower75]

i agree aashay where is the video for sandpaper ?

[aashay]

Where is da vdo for sandpaper Kisses???????
