Ice in My Chest

Neo-soul with a slow swung pocket and warm sub-bass, muted guitar skanks, Rhodes chords, and brushed drums; verse stays intimate and sparse, pre-chorus opens with stacked harmonies and a rising organ swell, chorus lands on a short heart-heavy hook with silky doubles. Add tape hiss, reversed piano swells into transitions, and soft ad-lib echoes after key lines. Smooth close-mic vocal, smoky and vulnerable, with rich mix sheen and intimate low-end weight.
