The intro is a very clean opening with the piano. When Rachel comes in she has a nice clear sound. Even when she is going into the higher register you can understand her. The sound of this particular song is reminiscent to the Rat Pack days to me. Something you would hear in a night club or bar. Very moody and the instrumentals help support this feel with the piano, violin or base, and the soft brush of the drums. This song might not appeal to everyone, because it is a genre type feel, but give it a chance and I think it will grow on you.
I would love to hear other songs of hers to see what her voice sounds in other flavors of music. Having the different flavors will if nothing else keep Rachel from getting pigeon holed. – Richard
