If you thought Paul Oakenfold the artist was all about laid-back Starry-Eyed Surprises, this dark, edgy and offbeat number will make you think again.

It marks the frontline debut of 16-year-old north Londoner Keisha White, whose full-throated vocals sear across Tricky's background mutterings and Oakey's stabbing string synths.

It's not one to dance to, and is even lyrically bereft of interest, so it's just as well that a heap of Bunkka remixes back up the main track, including a live version of Starry Eyed Surprise.
