Tracy Bonham + Bleu + Common Rotation

You might remember Tracy Bonham’s surprise hit of the mid-’90s (“Mother Mother”), after which she passed through guitar-pop and trip-hop phases. Lately she’s been working solo, experimenting with loops and offbeat covers, exhibited on her recent album Masts of Manhattan. Up first is the (foul-mouthed?) singer known as Bleu, who has toured with John Mayer and written songs for the Jonas Brothers.
