Massive Attack's "Teardrop"

Love is a verb, love is a doing word: And this week on One Song Diallo Riddle and LUXXURY are not short on things to say about Massive Attack’s trip-hop anthem, Teardrop. Join the fellas as they trace the group’s history from curious kids to electronica pioneers, take a look inside the song’s haunting melody, and the “voice of God” vocal supplied by Elizabeth Fraser.

Come for the teardrops on the fire, stay for the breakdown one of 90s pop music’s greatest what-ifs: What would it have been like if, as one of Massive Attack’s producers intended, Madonna had sung the track.
