Before I plunge into March with both feet, I have a few loose ends from February to take care of first.
While I was posting up Trip-hop last month, I got a comment from Anonymous here.
Anon sez:
"Sooooo...day 25 of Triphopuary and I'm still hoping for a Monk & Canatella post...M&C's Cup of Tea and biscuits were a sweet treat so here's a slightly fattened version of Care in the Community...https://we.tl/t-vBqrW3hnro".
I love it when a visitor takes the time to share things. The link is for We Transfer & they only leave the file up for a week, so I checked with Anon about giving it a more permanent sharing space. I got the green light, so here we go, from the great Cup of Tea Records label.
Thanks, Frenz.

Don't get me wrong here, but our next artist gets it Rong all the time, yet she get's it oh so rite, right?..
FiFi Rong is a Chinese-British vocalist, songwriter, & producer. Her musical vision was forged in the crucible of her journey from China to the UK alone at age 16. Upon arrival in the UK, she set about exploring the potentials she was forced to repress growing up in China. It was only after she met her childhood musical hero Tricky, who saw FiFi's potential & encouraged her to pursue it, that she began to truly gain confidence in her own work. Her music deftly highlights the duality that merges Eastern roots with Western experience.
FiFi uniquely weaves emotional intimacy & vulnerability into her distinctive sonic vision. She manages to effortlessly blend Trip-hop with elements of alt. pop, R&B, electronica, IDM, avant-garde, & UK Bass, enveloping her unmistakable vocals in this mesmerising tapestry.
Her impressive collaborations include renowned artists such as Skepta, with her vocals gracing his hugely successful UK No. 2 & Mercury Prize-winning album, Konnichiwa. She has also worked with Tricky, Yello (on their chart-topping albums Point & Toy), Phaeleh, & the late Lee 'Scratch' Perry.
Here are a couple early ones, Fifi's debut full-length & an EP from the following year.
