People who know me know that if I go anywhere near R&B I usually end up pulling faces, quivering, vomiting or running away.

This little gem sneaked under my radar this morning however and at the moment it’s bopping along quiet happily in my brain. Why do I like it? Well, I love the vocals. They’re way ‘up there’ / ‘out there’ somewhere. Diving and soaring with pin point honeyed accuracy. And I love the accompaniment. The backing track is essentially just a couple of drum loops – probably sampled live drums – and an occasional chord stab. This means the voice has to carry the track. It’s not until the end of the track that there are little embellishments to the backing. A few strings and other twiddles.

This is a song that tweaks my emotional and intellectual buttons which is a pretty compelling reason for it being Track of the Day.
