Are you still mad that I had one foot out the door? Are you still mad that we slept together even after we had ended it?”
“That I Would Be Good,” a song that is enriched with lovely violins is definitely worth listening. “UR” is a bit folky and one would even hear a little harmonica. “So Pure,” is a noisy dance track exp .....
