"Goldie described 'Mother' as a gut-wrenching, hour-long cry for help, reflecting a difficult life that needed to be made count."
"At the peak of my career with drum'n'bass music, I chose to make an album which no one was gonna understand; it was like a Greek tragedy."
Goldie, born Clifford Price in 1965, faced a challenging childhood, leading to his ambition in music. His debut album, Timeless, established him as a star in the jungle genre. For his second album, Saturnz Return, he had creative freedom and a substantial budget. Goldie chose to create an unconventional album, with 'Mother' as its centerpiece, representing a personal narrative of trauma and longing for maternal connection. The album's complexity and emotional depth set it apart from mainstream expectations.
