Vessel of love

"Cook is helped out by super-producer and Killing Joke co-founder Youth, a longtime proponent of dub-influenced rock and electronic music. The production is just as trippy and adventurous as one would expect from someone who contributed to the Orb's first two albums, but in much more of a pop context, and remaining true to reggae traditions ... for starters, she's the daughter of Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook, and her career as a musician began when Ari Up asked her to join the Slits when they reunited in 2005. While Cook's credentials are undeniably impeccable, they don't outshine her talent, and she just keeps getting better".

"On her pristine third album, Vessel of Love, Cook sings her desire and pain into an exalted, beaming sway. Cook is influenced by singers like Janet Kay and Carroll Thompson, who helped define lover's rock in the mid-1970s-the moment when rocksteady grew less political (and male) and more romantic".
