Sneaker Pimps - “Velvet Divorce”
I wasn’t really of an age to appreciate trip-hop when it was really coming around so I’ve had to find things little by little and mostly by accident. Most people will remember “6 Underground” by the Sneaker Pimps, but it was only in 2006 that someone mentioned a lazy, ballad like song hidden on the 9 year old A Life Less Ordinary soundtrack.
Kelli Dayton’s vocals flows slowly over a drum beat accentuated by strings and a slow plucked guitar. It’s now become my favorite song from the mid-90’s trip-hop era and makes me incredibly sad that they kicked Dayton out thereafter.
I love Sneaker Pimps.
