Loose, free, and just shy of OK

This track is pretty much the voice of Shilpa Ray. That voice evokes Nina Simone and all the old singers Amy Winehouse channels, voices emerging from whiskey, cigarettes and nightlife with a wry smile and a wealth of experience behind their eyes. This voice, I am convinced, has eyes.

The music almost seems too cheerful for this voice, like a well-meaning friend who just wants to help but, somehow, can't manage to. I figure an acoustic version might be a better match for this voice, but that's just picking at the nits.

And Shilpa Ray's voice is beyond that.
