faithless
faithless are a uk group of musicians whose music is described by one of their band as a cross between trip-hop and dance. while they are mostly famous for their notorious dance songs (“insomnia” “g-d is a dj” and “we come 1”) the band try to produce alb-ms which offer a blend of genres, attempting to make an alb-m that sounds like a mixtape so while the t-tle track opener to their debut alb-m, “reverence”, is a dance-based trip-hop song, the second track, “don’t leave”, is a mellow acoustic number.
the three members of faithless are maxi jazz, sister bliss and rollo. jazz acts as a vocalist mostly rapping and elevates the euphoric, ambient music to a spiritual and socio-political level with many of his lyrics; bliss, as arguably the most popular female dj not to mention her talents in playing the piano, violin, saxaphone and b-ss, constructs most of the music while rollo heads and produces the band’s genre defying sound.
