Aftermath

"Aftermath" is the debut solo single by English musician and producer Tricky, featuring vocals by Martina Topley-Bird. Originally released as a limited white label in late 1993, it was commercially released in January 1994 as the lead single from his debut solo album, Maxinquaye (1995). The song is widely cited as a foundational track of the trip hop genre, characterized by its slow tempo, heavy use of sampling, and the contrast between Topley-Bird's melodic vocals and Tricky's raspy, whispered delivery.
