The swing of the lively synths echoes in the delivery of the smooth, sensual vocals of Neill Maclean. “What a Hell of a year, it’s been real, my sweet dear†is just one of the lines that is delivered with the power to make your head sway with it. The wavy bass echoes from underneath, which creates a satisfying depth to the track. The female backup vocals add another layer of sensuality and a softer dynamic to the deeper vocals of Maclean. The electro breakdown towards the end of the track is also transitioned into smoothly but doesn’t pull its punches. When it hits, you’ll be hard-pressed not to perk up with intrigue.
