Forget Blur and Oasis, Skunk Anansie were the best UK band of their era in my eyes! An all time favourite and truly unique

Some people have amazing genetics. Mindyou a lot of folks with that carribean ancestry seem to have that luck. Seriously, the women in Jamaica seem to age fabulously.

‘25 years ago’? I didn’t think she was even 25!!!

Skin is a amazing vocalist one of the best

I've rated her as my favourite female singers for years. Forget Adele, Beyonce and all that. Skin has an incredible range. Can go from soft and delicate to loud and raw. Terrific artist and seems like a really nice person.

THIS! Glad I found this video and your post only one day after you made it. Yeah I can't deal with those. What you described, soft and delicate to loud and raw, only a few can achieve. I'm thinking of Stevie Nicks and Miley Cyrus, but they all stand on their own but Skin really went against the current, as a black woman from Jamaican origin doing rock instead of R&B, Soul. In that sense, she reminds me of Grace Jones. She does seem down to earth and kind. She had only nice things to say about her peers. I bet she loves the appreciation. I hope she keeps making music as long as she lives.

Dont forget personality that you can actually feel from her singing. I always got a vibe of someone hugging me when listening to her and I doubt she's different in person

She is a queen!

i'm only young, i wasn't around when skunk anansie was big!! but they're possibly my favourite band - they're so different from everyone else, very raw and i love the way skin speaks. very real, very articulate, very honest. i definitely wish i was around to experience their prime.

Skin is my absolute hero in life.

Some music stays with you for life

I met Skin after her talk at the Cheltenham Literary Festival last year, absolutely lovely person! Excited to see Skunk Anansie in Bristol tonight!

Skin ❤❤❤ You need to do a podcast I could listen to you all day

So i never thought this I'd say this. But Skins kind of adorable in person. She's right, I did have this impression in my head that she was kinda intimidating,. NOPE! Turns out she's lovely.

One of the most amazing singers i ever heard, brilliant

What an Amazing Woman! 💜

One of my most favourite female singers. Tracie's Flaw is so brilliant.

My day has been made, thank you Skin and thank you Radio X. Sounds a bit stalkerish but Skin has been on my "most awesome people to have round for dinner" list for decades.

And i got your book for my birthday yesterday on the day this video was posted Skin :D

I am also a Jamaican raised in Hackney, not too far from Brixton. I remembered seeing Skin and hearing her voice and was just blown away. I Loved Skunk Anansie and what they represented, being like No One Else. That was me through, and through. Soft and can fit in anywhere, yet I can be raw and hard. I now play their songs for my 5-yr old son. He loves the guitar and always asks me to "play the one with guitar Mum!"

I love her human openess. Its comforting 😊

I certainly hope she got rich. She is one of the very best. I wish more people in America knew of her.

Fantastically candid. Thank you for sharing.

Loved skunk anansie when i was a kid ✊🏼❤ what a voice!

Love her so much!

I wish I listened to Skunk Anansie when I was young. I think Skin is a great woman.

Luv you and your music

Well done you guys, that was so satisfying😁😁😁😁😁💜💛💕💖💗💚💙

Absolutely adore you

I love this voice

such an interesting woman !

His woman is outstandingly intelligent

She is just adorbs

Amazing and inspiring

Some black don't age at all.. incredible she is 55 years old ❤️

Amazing voice, beautiful woman.

I love this woman. I discovered her and Skunk Anansie way too late. I was 13/14 when they first burst onto the scene and I wish I'd found them then. Truth is, I first heard her on Tony Iommi's first solo album on the track Meat and that was probably '03/'04 at the earliest.

What a wonderful voice

She really is the coolest

I love Skin and Skunk Anansie!

Selling Jesus is my favorite song

I Love ❤️👑Skin 💕❤️💕❤️

SKIN is as cool as F**k

looove youuu skiiin :)

Wow! Learning to speak Italian in 6 weeks!

BRIT ROCK ,they were on their own really , way above the rest of music that was coming out at the time .

You look amazing

Wow looks so well...

Goddess ❤ she needs to be on our TV again how do we make this happen??

💚

Closing down radio x

I need a Moby and Skin/Skunk Anansie collaboration!

I just found Skin. Better late than never, but I feel ripped off.

Skin Love ya baby.

🤩🤩🤩

Милашка

As one does

Comment engagement for Skin :)

Love her babyish way of talking compared to her powerful contrasting womanly presence on stage , a rare bird indeed ;D

This is my very personally TOP-10 of BRIT POP (BRIT ROCK) bands: 1) SUEDE - (Best Brit Pop Band ever!) 2) RADIOHEAD 3) PLACEBO 4) MUSE 5) SKUNK ANANSIE 6) THE VERVE & Richard Ashcroft 7) BLUR 8) COLDPLAY 9) P.J.HARVEY 10) PAUL WELLER P.S.: I've never ever liked OASIS or BEATLES in my life! SKIN is definitely the best FEMALE singer in the BRIT ROCK / Alternative movement ever! On the second place I would put P.J.HARVEY! I should of course mention: Shirley Manson (Garbage) and Dolores O’Riordan (The Cranberries). All other FEMALE singers from bands like: Elastica, Echobelly, Catatonia, Sleeper etc. were not really great, and they were only for the short period of time active.

Yeah, SA were and continue to be a Rock band. Pretty simple really :-)

stoosh is posh in jamaica, elegant?

i know i am late to the party, but how come you are so stunning. What is your secret.

I love her, best voice ever. Pls contact me!

It would be so cool for Willow Smith and Skin to collaborate.

Never deserved to be in a pop band bc theyre in a league of their own ❤

Does she even age?

Ok well i challenge radio x to actually play their music every now and again! instead of the same old white men that made skunk anansie an outsider to the britpop scene.............. just a thought

You should never explain your songs. It’s like trying explain your paintings/art. Let people give it their own meanings.
