I'm a huge fan of this song. I love your "thing for weird voices" because it's introducing me to so many fabulous female artists (my head kind of groups this song with Alex, Frida, and Imaginary Cities and I kind of love it [an aside: this prompted the "return comment" comment haha]). The line breaks and how her voice is kind of lazy -- I adore!! It flows so beautifully while still retaining something, as you said, kind of awkward. Awesome. It almost sounds like modern poetry, sung, as opposed to something more rhythmically structured, which I really appreciate. I also totally love the lyrics because they're all May/December fabulous. This is always a big plus for me with love-ish songs, haha, so.

I think of this as Reggae-tinged Country with a hint of the Super Mario soundtrack...
HAHAHA I TOTALLY HEAR IT, especially at the beginning! Oh my god what a perfect description, dude. hahahaha awesome. FUSION!!

I'm really impressed with how simultaneously mellow and unrelenting this song is. The background is chill, kind of sounds like something you could listen to on a beach, but the way she sings and the way the melody is written lends it something a bit more...macabre's not the word, but I'm going to use it anyway. MACABRE. Something a little dark is going on beneath the surface. LAYERS. Layers.

Also: it's totally addictive. As are all the songs you post. haha
