Artist
Marta Zlakowska is a Polish singer from Krakow. She joined Tricky's project after meeting him in November 2017 and spent the next six years touring and recording with the Bristol trip-hop pioneer. Her debut album 'When It's Going Wrong' (False Idols, 31 March 2023), produced by Tricky, is a spare nine-track, 19-minute record. On the title track her tender voice is backed by little more than a hand drum and low guitar notes, and she's called it the song that holds the biggest part of herself. The album also covers Jefferson Airplane's 'Today' with a drum'n'bass break and closes on a lullaby-like cover of the Polish song 'Czarno Czarny'. She sings on 'Out of Place', the closing track of Tricky's July 2026 album 'Different When It's Silent'.
