Tricky: Divine Intervention

Everett True, Melody Maker, 4 May 1996

NEARLY GOD is the alter ego of TRICKY, arguably the most modern artist currently operating in pop. But he doesn't want to be deified, nor does he want to be misunderstood. EVERETT TRUE follows Tricky to New York, where he fled following a series of articles that painted him in a bad light, to ask him about paranoia, fear, sex and religion.
