This interests me a lot. The backing is certainly blues-inspired, but the vocal melody and harmony are a much straighter pop, and the two go together very well. I think this song has a very modern vibe despite the retro, and much more likely, BECAUSE of it. The lyrics are very cool, and the voice has that bit of "irony" that fits it well.

I like this a whole lot.
