The first news about Massive Attack‘s fifth album has leaked. In the tradition of the faintly ethereal female vocalists favoured by the band, singer-songwriter Stephanie Dosen is currently in the studio working with 3D et al.

Dosen follows in the tradition of such illustrious singers as Tracey Thorn and Liz Fraser as a guest of Massive. On their last album, 2003’s “100th Window”, the band were joined by Sinead O’Connor on three songs.
