Tricky reveals "music doesn’t sound the same" after the death of his daughter

In a new interview with The Guardian, Tricky has spoken about the passing of his daughter Mazy in May, which he describes as "the day my world ended".

Speaking about her death five months on, Tricky says, "I’ve lost my belief. Hopefully I will get it back."

He says of their relationship, "One of the biggest problems with my daughter is that I’ve never loved anybody that much before. I was there at her birth. And all of a sudden I started feeling things. And it was too much for me. Because I was emotionally numb, and it was easier for me to get through life being emotionally numb, but then suddenly I was feeling things."

Reflecting on her passing, Tricky explains, "I’ve lost people before, like grandmothers, but I’ve bounced back. This is different. Everything looks different, even music doesn’t sound the same. I feel like I’m losing my mind. I was in Islington yesterday and I was hoping I was going to see her, hoping she’s gonna walk up to me."

The Bristolian also revealed that he's been working on some tracks that his daughter hadn't finished, and hopes to put a couple of the songs on his next album.

Last week Tricky shared the self-directed trailer for his forthcoming autobiography Hell Is Round The Corner.

His upcoming autobiography takes the same name as a track from his 1995 debut album Maxinquaye.
