Theme Variety: Pretty basic themes: Male Verse with guitar and rhythm, chorus, female verse, chorus with female voice. Xylophone, male and female voice, acoustic guitar, drums, some strings, some unidentifiable synth, and electric guitar. Mostly simple, but used pretty well.
Stars: 7.5
Music Complexity: Music is the background. Basic 1-VII and I-VII-VI progressions. Interesting melodies with the xylophone and electric guitar stand out well against the simple guitar track.
Stars: 8
Dynamic Variety: Soft until the chorus, which is emphasized. When it is through, it quiets a again. Words louder than everything else. Changes are noticed, but not sudden or awkward.
Stars: 8.5
Singer Talent: Good singing. Decent range, although most of it was almost mumbled it was so quiet. Some words were jumbled to the point of imperceptibility in the chorus, but the point got across. Kimbra was decent as well, although I heard more auto-tune on her during the chorus.
Stars: 8
Perceptible Auto-tune: I couldn't hear much during the verses on Goyte. I heard a hint of it on Kimbra during her verse. Some on Goyte during the chorus, but more on Kimbra.
Stars: 7.5
Lyrics: Very emotional. It told a beautiful story, although some of it was jumbled during the chorus. They expressed anguish, angst, and many other emotions commonly thought of during a breakup. More importantly, it expressed two points of view. I enjoyed having lyrics from the perspective of both the man and the woman.
Stars: 9.5
Overall: A beautiful song. It was mature, deep, and entertaining. It deserves it's place as #1 on the charts.
Stars: 8.2
