History:
Any Love (2) is basically just a redux version or reimagining of the original Any Love that was produced solely between Daddy G and Smith And Mighty two years earlier in 1988. Of course, this time around, Smith and Mighty were out of the picture and 3D and Mushroom were now involved in the production unlike with the original version. The original singer of Any Love, Carlton had also moved on as well and was busy working with Smith and Mighty on producing his own solo album at the time. This left Massive Attack to charter in a new singer to sing on the reimagined song. His (as his vocals are often confused with that of a woman’s) name would be Tony Bryan, who unfortunately does not have much information or history attached to his name that MASSIVEATTACK.IE could uncover but apparently worked with Lee “Scratch” Perry during the nineties on a number of his records.
Additional Info:
Tony Bryan would work with Massive Attack one more time on Be Thankful For What You’ve Got on Blue Lines.
Live Appearances:
Any Love has never once been played by Massive Attack, at least not in a live band sense as it may have possibly been played as part of Massive Attack’s live DJ sets on their earlier soundsystem tour during 1994.
