Considered one of my fav tunes comes from Manchester keyboardist Matt Wilde & Brooklyn-based Canadian singer Miranda Jones, fusing in itself all of the lightness & gorgeousness of jazz & soul. She elaborates:
“Like You is about falling in love. It’s about discovering heat and security in one other particular person after a time period that I feared had turned me chilly. Once I had waded deeply into new waters and when my life had been quickly altering, it was a present to seek out, if just for a time, one thing strong to face on; a rock in the course of the ocean tall sufficient for my ft to truly attain; a spot the place I might stand lengthy sufficient to catch my breath and see the daylight once more. Matt’s piano holds this track and these phrases so fantastically; in all its heat. It’s a true reflection of the heat I felt on the peerlessly sunny days we spent writing and recording it collectively in Manchester final summer time.”
