Like A River (Ft. Bakar)

it took me a little while to get into this track. I'm not really sure why, but I think the main thing is that there's a serious juxtaposition between the two vocalists (Shy Love and Bakar, I'm assuming).
One of the vocalists sounds a lot like Bloc Party (I think it's Shy Love?); the top line -- which I think is sung by Bakar -- reminds me a lot of Miike Snow or something; and the overall vibe of the song is very... electro pop.
Together, all these forces combine into a song that I initially disliked but now find myself coming back to again and again. Fickle, right?
There's a new Shy Luv EP around the corner, so I reckon there's a solid chance we'll be featuring more from them in the near future.
