This single is the combined efforts of SPR10 and Roper and what I really like about this song is the stunning contrast between the vocals.
On the one hand, you have an sweet indie melody with a plaintive melody, pouring over emotional lyrics. The flip side is the hip-hop interludes, which features a weighty confidence in the lyrical delivery.
The piano and acoustic guitar might be better replaced with something else, as the combination does give the song perhaps too much likeness to One Republic. With the addition of something just a bit more edgy behind the beat would make this a serious chart stormer.
This is a great crossover track.
