Kate's singing on this track sorta reminds me of Verve era Billie
Holiday...especially with the vibrato on the end of the phrases. I
really like this track...maybe she'll do some more stuff like this as
B-sides in the future (ala her flirtation with folk ballads on "My
Lagan Love" and "The Handsome Cabin Boy").
