Maxinquaye
''Maxinquaye'' is the debut album by English recording artist and producer Tricky. He recorded the album with his then-girlfriend, vocalist Martina Topley-Bird, who sang on most of the songs with him. Tricky produced the album mostly himself at his home studio in London, with the assistance of co-producer Mark Saunders.
When ''Maxinquaye'' was released on 20 February 1995 by 4th & B'way Records, it charted at number three in the United Kingdom and received widespread acclaim from critics, many of whom hailed it as the year's best record. It was also viewed as the key album of a musical style that was being dubbed trip hop, a term Tricky himself disliked. Since then, ''Maxinquaye'' has been ranked frequently on all-time lists of the greatest albums and has sold over 500,000 copies worldwide.
== Background ==
After a troubled upbringing in the Knowle West neighborhood of Bristol, Tricky became involved with an eclectic collective of DJs and musicians known as The Wild Bunch during the late 1980s.〔; .〕 As part of the collective, he helped arrange sound systems around Bristol's club scene and penned raps under a stage name derived from "Tricky Kid", which was the nickname given to him in a street gang as a youth.〔; .〕 The Wild Bunch signed a record deal with 4th & B'way Records and released two singles but failed to make a commercial impact because of what label director Julian Palmer felt was a sound too experimental and slow for most listeners. The collective dissolved in 1989, but would eventually lead to the formation of the trip hop group Massive Attack, with Tricky a frequent collaborator.
In September 1993, Tricky released "Aftermath" independently to local record stores before he signed a record deal with 4th & Broadway. That year, Tricky discovered Martina Topley-Bird, then a teenager at Clifton College, when he saw her sitting on a wall near his house, singing to herself. "That's really how it happened," she recalled. "It's one of those things people are always surprised to find out is true. I remember the graveyard behind the wall. A few weeks later, I went around to his house with some friends. We'd been drinking cider after our GCSEs. We were banging on his door, but he wasn't in. Then Mark Stewart, who lived there, came up to us and said: 'Yeah, this is Tricky's house, jump in through the window.'" Tricky and Topley-Bird would form a musical and romantic partnership over subsequent years.
