Vulnerable is the sixth album by Tricky, released in 2003.
(official bio)
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 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 L.A. 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 festivals like Glastonbury and the London Meltdown Festival). In fall 2003 the Back To Mine compilation dedicated to Tricky came out featuring Costanza's song "Desire" (written, performed and produced by Costanza).
