Again, one of my favorites.  Kate’s original and Maxwell’s cover are so very different - Kate’s is hopeful and delicate.  She doesn’t let her phrase endings linger, there’s a defensiveness about the original.  This is such a strong song.

Maxwell fucking KILLS IT.  Where there was so much soul before, he introduces a darker, desperate, new breed of soul and lets it do what it wants with what is already there.  The gender difference also does a lot to round this out.  So into it.
