Dummy
trip-hop lush chillout electronic female vocalists
"It Could Be Sweet" is the fourth song from Portisheads debut album "Dummy". The song was originally considered as a single but ended up becoming one of the more deep cuts on the album. This was the first song that the band finished for the album. This song was written by front woman Beth Gibbons before the formation of Portishead and after the band formed they were so amazed by Beth’s singing on her demo version that they had to remake it and include it on the album.

Portishead is an English band formed in 1991 in Bristol. Portishead are named after Portishead, Somerset, eight miles west of Bristol, along the coast. The band comprises vocalist Beth Gibbons, producer Geoff Barrow and musician Adrian Utley. Portishead's debut album, Dummy (1994), fused hip hop production with an atmospheric, cinematic style reminiscent of spy film soundtracks. The album was met with commercial and critical acclaim, quickly becoming a landmark album in the emerging trip hop genre. However, the band disliked being associated with the term, and would consciously step away from that sound on later releases. Two other studio albums have been issued: Portishead in 1997 and Third in 2008, both of which received similar acclaim. In 1998, the band released a concert album, Roseland NYC Live.
