Teaming up once again with trip-hop mainstay Tricky, Polish singer Marta Złakowska's debut is quick and effective. This time around, the pairing is icy and dismissive, serving moody minimalism throughout the album's 19-minute runtime.
Złakowska's sly vocals let you in on a few secrets, while Tricky's arrangements bring a dark but mellow atmosphere to the ether. These simple songs are padded by covers of Jefferson Airplane's "Today" and Polish folk tune "Czarno Czarny," morphing their allure into something more sinister. When It's Going Wrong's biggest triumph, however, is how captivating everything sounds in the face of its nominal presence.
