Album production
The main female collaborator on this album was the
Italian singer Costanza Francavilla, a previous fan who approached Tricky at one of his shows and gave him a CD with songs. "On the 17th of December 2001, Tricky, one of Costanza's favourite artists ever, came to play in Rome," Costanza's Official site reads. "Costanza managed to give Tricky's drummer a demo CD (with 3 songs written, performed and produced by her). The day after Tricky called her asking to work with her the collaboration started."
In Spring 2002 she moved to Los Angeles to begin recording ''Vulnerable''. During the summer 2002 her song "My Head" was part of Tricky's ''
Blowback'' limited re-edition. In summer 2003, Costanza performed live on Tricky's "13" tour all around Europe (including the
