Mirwais returns for “Betrayal”, a spare, unsettling trip-hop track about family and the hurt that lingers.
The Song
Produced with Stuart Price and Mirwais, it is built from minimalist trip-hop and trumpet, and interpolates Erik Satie’s Gnossienne No. 1. Critics read it as a song about Madonna’s stepmother, Joan Ciccone.
