Hi Chay!
I find it interesting that the vocal helps accentuate the instrumental sections - giving them more prominence as it were - whereas when it’s all instrumental, some parts aren’t as distinct because one section flows into another - which is good in itself. That’s how it came across to my ears anyway. The vocal sections also ‘anchored’ the song by returning to the familiar vocals.

Lucy’s vocal is very good, albeit subdued due to the pitch of the melody she was singing - I felt sometimes I really wanted to hear her ‘let it rip’ by singing a higher melody line, but that probably wasn’t what you were seeking.

A great listen - you’ve been teasing us with this for a while, while we wait for the instrumental version to drop off the ‘chart’.
