Dirty Gold

2014 album from the Soul singer/songwriter Raykeea Wilson AKA Angel Haze. Dirty Gold has been produced in collaboration, for the most part, with producer Markus Dravs (Bjork, the Arcade Fire and Coldplay) other production credits go to Mele (Frank Ocean) and Mike Dean (Kanye West) discordant bass drones and eerie electronics dominate the dark romance Deep Sea Diver; on the flip side, Haze explores the hopeless nature of that love on the piano-driven ballad Planes Fly, inspired by one of her favorite songs ever Tracy Chapman's Fast Car. As she's hinted at recently, Haze went through a bad break-up while writing and recording the album and her obsession with doomed love is a recurring theme throughout. In songs such as April's Fool and Deep Sea Diver, Haze seeks to capture these fleeting moments in musical form.
