Not sure if that’s a MJ sample or a warp of some vocals or just a natural voice that sounds strikingly similar to a warped MJ hook, but regardless I’m very here for it.

A tender, rough around the edges track that has the appeal of a backyard private show from your friend’s band. Feels very intimate.
