Last Friday, American alternative radio station KCRW, had the world premiere first play of Massive Attack’s “Girl I Love You”, which is soon destined to be the the 4th track on their new album Heligoland, out next February. The track is mostly similar to the live version the band have been playing on their recent European tour, with a very interesting use of a horn section towards the end and Horace Andy’s sublime and haunting vocals injecting both elation and tension into the song at the same time. The radio rip of the KCRW first play is now available for streaming in the jukebox player here on the site or as an embedded YouTube video at the top of this post.
