My Take

Hope Sandoval interests me precisely because she gives so little away. In an industry built on oversharing, she rarely does interviews, barely faces the audience, and lets the voice do everything — and what a voice: that narcotic, half-asleep delivery that made Mazzy Star feel eternal. I love that heavyweights like Massive Attack and the Chemical Brothers keep borrowing her; drop her into any track and the temperature of the whole record changes. My take is that her shyness is not a limitation but the actual instrument — the mystery is structural, not accidental. Few singers have ever done more with less motion.
