I'll name that song in...

[B17NNS]

Trying to find a song I heard a while back. Don't know the artist, don't know the name of the song, can't even remember the lyrics.

It's sung by (presumably) a black woman. She is almost speaking/gently rapping the words rather than singing them. It's a very sexy sounding song lyrically and vocally. Music sounds a bit like Tricky if that helps.

All I remember is it starts with a deep low electronic/distorted sounding bass line...

Dum dum dum, dum dum. Dum dum dum.
Dum dum dum, dum dum. Dum dum dum.

or possibly

Dum dum dum, dum dum, dum. Dum dum dum.
Dum dum dum, dum dum, dum. Dum dum dum.

I think the baseline features throughout, don't remember it being very instrumenty. Quite possibly something featuring someone IIRC. I've tried Shazzam but it's having none of my vocal abilities.

Virtual pint if I get to listen to it tonight

I have actually remembered another bit.

It's a little instrumental section between verses. Again, like an electronic distorted keyboard.

Bewm bewm, bewm bewm, Be bewm bewm bewm.

Sadly not.

If it sounds like Tricky, could it be Martina Topley-Bird? I can't place a song resembling your description just now but have a flick through her back catalogue.

I've got 'She Makes me wanna die' in my head now and I've forgotten the bits of the song I had remembered. No, it's a deeper voice I think. I will find it. The song is on my NAS drive (along with 53,947 other songs). I've just lost the playlist it was on.

There is a Tricky track called "makes me wanna die"...

I'm 99% certain this isn't the song you are after, but based on the description above, you might like it - "The Truth" by Handsome Boy Modelling School, sung by the bird from Moloko:

No, but I am re-discovering some great songs along the way

[The T Boy]

Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega?

[Too Drunk to Funk]

Is it something by Hollie Cook?


She sounds similar to Martina TB/Sarah Cracknell.

Possibly not this song but may be worth looking on Youtube.

No, she definitely sounds black and American. Almost like a female Maxi Jazz (Faithless).

If I could just remember one line of vocal

[B17NNS]

Found it

Cody ChesnuTT (featuring Sonja Marie) - With Me In Mind

The Headphone Masterpiece

Well, that was an anti-climax!

[anonymous-user]

Did you honestly think that someone would be able to identify such an obscure track from such an obscure description? LOL!
