The Avalanches: Music Makes Me High + Take Care In Your Dreaming (feat. Denzel Curry & Tricky)
Az Avalanches ausztrál tánczenei kollektíva a legutóbbi 2016-os Wildflower nagylemezéhez hasonlóan a 2020. december 11-re bejelentett We Will Always Love You albumon is halmozza a kollaborációkat: a címadó számban Blood Orange, a Running Red Lightsban a Weezer-vezér Rivers Cuomo, a Wherever You Go/Reflecting Light dalpárban Neneh Cherry, Jamie xx, a Clash-extag Mick Jones és Sananda Maitreya (Terence Trent D’Arby) szerepeltek, most pedig jött egy olyan felvétel is, melyben a brit triphopguru Tricky és az amerikai rapper Denzel Curry a két sztárvendég.

Az Avalanches fenti negatívon látható két DJ-producer alaptagja, Robbie Chater és Tony Di Blasi az új album fő inspirációjaként a csillagász Carl Sagannak és feleségének, a producer-írónő Ann Druyannak a szerelmét nevezték meg, no meg persze az általuk készített – idegen civilizációknak szánt üzenetekkel, képekkel és zenékkel teli – arany lemezt, melyet a NASA 1977-ben a Voyager űrszondákkal indított útnak a Naprendszer elhagyására.
Szóba került, hogy Ann Druyan felvesz narrátorszöveget is az album dalainak átkötéshez, de végül csak egy fotója került a borítóra.
A 25 számos lemezről a mai napon egyszerre két újabb dalt is közzétettek: a harlemi East Coast Inspirational Singers gospelkórussal felvett Music Makes Me High az amerikai dalszerző-producer-énekes Nelson “Salty” Miller azonos című 1980-as felvételére épül. . .
. . . a Take Care In Your Dreaming című szám pedig az album két Tricky-kollaborációjának egyike, melyben a floridai sztárrapper Denzel Curry mellett az Ausztráliában élő zambiai rapper-énekesnő Sampa The Great (született: Sampa Tembo, 1993) a női hang, a zongoratémát pedig a Los Angeles-i billentyűs John Carroll Kirby (Solange, Frank Ocean, Blood Orange, Moses Sumney, Connan Mockasin, Mark Ronson, Sébastien Tellier stb.) játszotta fel hozzá.

2011, my name camе alive
At the same time, I planned my suicide
Literally I would live lonely inside, on the physical side
All my miracles died
2012, guess that plan ain’t go well
Out my shell, still I’m livin’ in hell
Yet it was written, from God it was gifted
To give you a story that ain’t hard to tell
2013, far from a pre-teen but it seems that a nigga chased my dream
Making anything that the world has not seen nor heard
Moving words like verbs, curved
2014, when I turned nineteen
Sayin’ RIP to my big bro Tree and my girl TT
When she got gunned down now
I’m back on road
‘Cause I couldn’t come ’round to the funeral
Let a whole year pass
Made an EP and the fans got mad
A lotta issues that a young man had
Just two years shy of a high school grad
2016, when the boy got mean
ULT embedded in my genes
‘Round the same time I met X and Ski
If the Klan ain’t hit, then we just might be
The ones to have it all in our reach
2017, I had no place to sleep
2018, Taboo One Three was the best shit people ever heard from me
When you get pure pain I’ma just make heat
2019, been good and bleak
Cut off the locks, new looks, same me
Used to chase my dreams, now the dreams chase me
Take care in your dreaming and love when you can (Chase my dreams, chase my dreams)
Take care in your dreaming and love when you can (Love how you breathe)
(Love how you sing)
Take care in your dreaming and love when you can (Chase my dreams, chase my dreams)
Take care in your dreaming
Yeah
South side of Africa
You ain’t really heard of her
Mama was a daughter of a chief
Make sense since
Royalty so skin deep
Melanin carried through heaps
Papa was a soldier
Built our whole life off his shoulders
Both were my pillars, yeah, I told ya
Both were a product of about ten kids
About ten needs
About ten feeds
Walking to school, it was about 10k’s
Knees getting faded
Hope getting faded
Aches, no lights flashing and flicker, it was a dream
Providing for they children
Just to hope our souls beam with prosperity
My parents, they took big care of me
Made sure opinions were heard
‘Cause it scary
Middle kid tings
Always lurking in the back
When I felt I wasn’t heard
Decided to take back
Take care in your dreaming and love when you can (Chase my dreams, chase my dreams)
Take care in your dreaming (It was dream)
(Anything that the world has not seen, has not seen, has not seen)
(Was a dream)
Take care in your dreaming and love when you can (Yeah, back in 2019, chase my dreams)
(Love how you sing)
You’ll need it now
Take care in your dreaming (Take care, Take care, Take care, Take care, take care)
Love don’t leave
Love can’t breathe
Love can’t breathe
Breathe
Take care in your dreaming and love when you can
Love can’t breathe
