Francesca Belmonte, known previously as Franky Riley, made major songwriting and vocal contributions to
Tricky's
Mixed Race (2010), False Idols (2013), and Adrian Thaws (2014) albums.
Tricky returns the favor here by continuing to work with her and by releasing the results on his label. Anima,
Belmonte's first solo album, contains the rigid 2014 single "Stole," as well as the strutting, seductive "Are You" and the rumbling
Tricky "duet" "Lying on the Moon."
