Some people have amazing genetics. Mindyou a lot of folks with that carribean ancestry seem to have that luck. Seriously, the women in Jamaica seem to age fabulously.
I've rated her as my favourite female singers for years. Forget Adele, Beyonce and all that. Skin has an incredible range. Can go from soft and delicate to loud and raw. Terrific artist and seems like a really nice person.
THIS! Glad I found this video and your post only one day after you made it. Yeah I can't deal with those. What you described, soft and delicate to loud and raw, only a few can achieve. I'm thinking of Stevie Nicks and Miley Cyrus, but they all stand on their own but Skin really went against the current, as a black woman from Jamaican origin doing rock instead of R&B, Soul. In that sense, she reminds me of Grace Jones. She does seem down to earth and kind. She had only nice things to say about her peers. I bet she loves the appreciation. I hope she keeps making music as long as she lives.
Dont forget personality that you can actually feel from her singing. I always got a vibe of someone hugging me when listening to her and I doubt she's different in person
i'm only young, i wasn't around when skunk anansie was big!! but they're possibly my favourite band - they're so different from everyone else, very raw and i love the way skin speaks. very real, very articulate, very honest. i definitely wish i was around to experience their prime.
Charly Big Potato - CD Single -> max volume & repeat till drained from energy -> relax and take a breather... This was my therapy for many many years. Sorry neighbors and THANKS SKUNK!! (You will never know how much that therapy meant for me!!) Love from Holland
So i never thought this I'd say this. But Skins kind of adorable in person. She's right, I did have this impression in my head that she was kinda intimidating,. NOPE! Turns out she's lovely.
My day has been made, thank you Skin and thank you Radio X. Sounds a bit stalkerish but Skin has been on my "most awesome people to have round for dinner" list for decades.
I am also a Jamaican raised in Hackney, not too far from Brixton. I remembered seeing Skin and hearing her voice and was just blown away. I Loved Skunk Anansie and what they represented, being like No One Else. That was me through, and through. Soft and can fit in anywhere, yet I can be raw and hard. I now play their songs for my 5-yr old son. He loves the guitar and always asks me to "play the one with guitar Mum!"
I love this woman. I discovered her and Skunk Anansie way too late. I was 13/14 when they first burst onto the scene and I wish I'd found them then. Truth is, I first heard her on Tony Iommi's first solo album on the track Meat and that was probably '03/'04 at the earliest.
My first "encounter" with Skunk Anansie was sitting in a sandwich shop in Sheffield, having a bite and a coffee in -i think it was ´95 or ´96?. The television in the corner showed some music channel. "Weak" by Skunk ... who? The energy of the song blew my mind. They played a festival in Wiesen (I am Austrian) ~ a year later and I was lucky to be there. I read Skin and the Gang are touring again! -> keeping fingers crossed, they come somewhere near. Now we have 2024. Cass´ bass-line on "Twisted - every day hurts" is one of my favourite lines up to this day... Respect for the music and thanks for all those great songs!
I've just introduced my 7 year old to skunk anansie and he says it's his favourite band. Even requested Brazen at school when they all could choose a song, not sure how that went down with the teacher!😂Everyone else was requesting Taylor swift!
This is my very personally TOP-10 of BRIT POP (BRIT ROCK) bands: 1) SUEDE - (Best Brit Pop Band ever!) 2) RADIOHEAD 3) PLACEBO 4) MUSE 5) SKUNK ANANSIE 6) THE VERVE & Richard Ashcroft 7) BLUR 8) COLDPLAY 9) P.J.HARVEY 10) PAUL WELLER P.S.: I've never ever liked OASIS or BEATLES in my life! SKIN is definitely the best FEMALE singer in the BRIT ROCK / Alternative movement ever! On the second place I would put P.J.HARVEY! I should of course mention: Shirley Manson (Garbage) and Dolores O’Riordan (The Cranberries). All other FEMALE singers from bands like: Elastica, Echobelly, Catatonia, Sleeper etc. were not really great, and they were only for the short period of time active.
Ok well i challenge radio x to actually play their music every now and again! instead of the same old white men that made skunk anansie an outsider to the britpop scene.............. just a thought
She has one of the best voice in rock music. Very underrated artist
Everything that ever happened is underrated hey
Got no airplay in the NYC area, I somehow stumbled into Paranoid And Sunburnt; one of my top Three albums
listen to her studio stuff and live stuff. absolutely indistinguishable vocals.
Not one of the, she has the best voice.
@@dusandestanovic5884 And not just in rock.
Forget Blur and Oasis, Skunk Anansie were the best UK band of their era in my eyes! An all time favourite and truly unique
I love Oasis, Blur and Skunk Anansie
Omg ,Skin is not getting old She`s looking exactly the same like 25 years ago.

‘25 years ago’? I didn’t think she was even 25!!!
Skin is a amazing vocalist one of the best

I would like to hear a Moby and Skin colloboration! That would be excellent!

She is a queen!
She even speaks Italian, how can you not love this woman! Brava 👏

Skunk anansie never stopped being big
A lovely artist and person.
The sheer power and pain her voice is just so beautiful
I grew up listening to Skunk Anansie in the 90s And was madly in love with Skin!!! As a person and an amazing vocalist!
PRETTY SURE I SAW SKiN FIRST!!!!!!
I met Skin after her talk at the Cheltenham Literary Festival last year, absolutely lovely person! Excited to see Skunk Anansie in Bristol tonight!
Charly Big Potato - CD Single -> max volume & repeat till drained from energy -> relax and take a breather...
This was my therapy for many many years.
Sorry neighbors and THANKS SKUNK!! (You will never know how much that therapy meant for me!!)
Love from Holland
Skin ❤❤❤
You need to do a podcast
I could listen to you all day
I grew up on her voice
Skin is my absolute hero in life.
So i never thought this I'd say this. But Skins kind of adorable in person. She's right, I did have this impression in my head that she was kinda intimidating,. NOPE! Turns out she's lovely.
One of my most favourite female singers. Tracie's Flaw is so brilliant.
I wish I listened to Skunk Anansie when I was young. I think Skin is a great woman.
My day has been made, thank you Skin and thank you Radio X.
Sounds a bit stalkerish but Skin has been on my "most awesome people to have round for dinner" list for decades.
One of the most amazing singers i ever heard, brilliant

Some music stays with you for life
"Secretly"!!!!
Fantastically candid. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful skin and just all around.
I love this woman. I discovered her and Skunk Anansie way too late. I was 13/14 when they first burst onto the scene and I wish I'd found them then. Truth is, I first heard her on Tony Iommi's first solo album on the track Meat and that was probably '03/'04 at the earliest.
What an Amazing Woman! 💜
And i got your book for my birthday yesterday on the day this video was posted Skin :D
I love her human openess. Its comforting 😊

I certainly hope she got rich. She is one of the very best. I wish more people in America knew of her.
Skin is awesome and Skunk Anansie is an amazing band.
Cheers!
What a wonderful voice
An authentic artist. Real Jamaican
His woman is outstandingly intelligent
Loved skunk anansie when i was a kid ✊🏼❤ what a voice!

I love Skin and Skunk Anansie!
BRIT ROCK ,they were on their own really , way above the rest of music that was coming out at the time .
Thanks, You are awesome, Olimpia.
Omg and it's broken up by question.
Angel babies sent from heaven made this video for me. 🥰🥰🥰
such an interesting woman !
I ADORE U ❤
Goddess ❤ she needs to be on our TV again how do we make this happen??
Pure energy!
I just want another feature with Sevdndust.
Amazing singer
Some black don't age at all.. incredible she is 55 years old ❤️
Selling Jesus is my favorite song
Thanks Skin x
Wow! Learning to speak Italian in 6 weeks!
I literally love her. "Jesus for sale" is the most beautiful condemnation of the state of religion in politics, communities, and war.
I've just introduced my 7 year old to skunk anansie and he says it's his favourite band. Even requested Brazen at school when they all could choose a song, not sure how that went down with the teacher!😂Everyone else was requesting Taylor swift!
SKIN is as cool as F**k
I need a Moby and Skin/Skunk Anansie collaboration!
I Love ❤️👑Skin 💕❤️💕❤️
You look amazing
Wow looks so well...
Love her babyish way of talking compared to her powerful contrasting womanly presence on stage , a rare bird indeed ;D
looove youuu skiiin :)
Closing down radio x
I am your fan😊
I just found Skin. Better late than never, but I feel ripped off.
Skin Love ya baby.
stoosh is posh in jamaica, elegant?
💚
This is my very personally TOP-10 of BRIT POP (BRIT ROCK) bands:
1) SUEDE - (Best Brit Pop Band ever!)
2) RADIOHEAD
3) PLACEBO
4) MUSE
5) SKUNK ANANSIE
6) THE VERVE & Richard Ashcroft
7) BLUR
8) COLDPLAY
9) P.J.HARVEY
10) PAUL WELLER
P.S.: I've never ever liked OASIS or BEATLES in my life!
SKIN is definitely the best FEMALE singer in the BRIT ROCK / Alternative movement ever!
On the second place I would put P.J.HARVEY!
I should of course mention: Shirley Manson (Garbage) and Dolores O’Riordan (The Cranberries).
All other FEMALE singers from bands like: Elastica, Echobelly, Catatonia, Sleeper etc. were not really great, and they were only for the short period of time active.
Comment engagement for Skin :)
i know i am late to the party, but how come you are so stunning. What is your secret.
Милашка
Yeah, SA were and continue to be a Rock band. Pretty simple really :-)
As one does
🤩🤩🤩
I love her, best voice ever. Pls contact me!
Does she even age?
It would be so cool for Willow Smith and Skin to collaborate.
Never deserved to be in a pop band bc theyre in a league of their own ❤
Ok well i challenge radio x to actually play their music every now and again! instead of the same old white men that made skunk anansie an outsider to the britpop scene.............. just a thought
You should never explain your songs. It’s like trying explain your paintings/art. Let people give it their own meanings.
