    "comment": "English artist and producer Tricky just anounced his first North American tour in eight years! He'll be coming to Seattle on Sept. 30 at Neumos. \n--\n“Black Steel” is the fourth single released on Tricky’s debut 1995 album Maxinquaye. It is a cover of Public Enemy’s 1988 song “Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos”. The main vocals are by Martina Topley-Bird, Tricky’s collaborator and girlfriend at the time. The beat was from a cassette of 1980s Indian music Tricky’s ex-girlfriend’s mother sent him. \n--\nRead more about the creation of this awesome cover here: https://www.soundgym.co/blog/item?id=tricky-black-steel",
