Why do we like this?

I wasn't 100% sure about this track when it started. High up falsetto vocals? Ehhhh...

Something kept me listening, though. I'm not 100% sure what it was, but when the vocals dropped down around the 0:33 mark I found myself pulled closer and closer toward a decision to blog the song.

Then bam: the song hits the 49 second mark and I decided that it was absolutely worth sharing with y'all.

By the time the high up vocals come back around the 1:10 mark I'm fully convinced: no need to win me over. This song passes through enough twists and turns to keep me coming back again and again and again.

Props to the Bristol-based artist for pulling off a pretty darn good song.
