"Nothing Left To Lose" by Everything But The Girl

In a jaw-dropping surprise announcement on November 2, 2022 via their new Instagram account, the extraordinary duo known as Everything But The Girl (Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt, previously here) said they had recorded a new album...the first in 24 years. TWENTY FOUR YEARS! It is called "Fuse," released in April of 2023 and the first single from it is called "Nothing Left To Lose", seen below. And I am a little speechless... Tracey's voice is lower and has a different timbre, and while the music sounds like it's picked right up from their last two albums, "Walking Wounded" (1996) and "Temperamental" (1999), there is an undeniable sense of "now.". It's...just...wow, as an EBTG fan from the very start, it's emotional for me to hear this. "Kiss me while the world decays..."
