Nikki Simmons, known for her powerful and emotive voice, delivers a performance that’s at once elegant and intense, perfectly blending with Tim’s driving basslines. The song’s structure showcases a balance between moody verses and sweeping choruses, creating a sound that nods to the 80s while retaining the cutting edge sonic appeal that Rye Catchers has become known for.
