Interesting bluesy number in odd time that inbues a sense of longing.
The song is clever and has some nice changes in it. The production is quite good.
There is an audible vocal edit at 1:53 you may want to take a listen to - I am not sure if it's from comping the vocal part or perhaps a bit of pitch correction gone awry but it's definitely there.
I loved the risks you took with the timing and the time signature which paid off to some extent. It definitely helped to set the stage for the emotion of the song. That being said, the accent on the last 3 beats was a bit overused in my opinion. It turns around the beat and de-emphasizes the natural cadence of the song where beat 1 becomes a bit too vague. I think you should definitely use this trick during instrumentals here and there but I would shy away from it during the vocal parts. I liked it - I just think less would be more effective as a 'surprise' element in the song instead of a staple.
Overall, I really liked the tune, and the production was excellent.
Peace, TC
