Blues-soul funk with a swung pocket, greasy clavinet riffs, warm bass slides, and a half-time drum lift into each chorus; verse stays intimate and smoky, pre-chorus strips to handclaps and bass, chorus opens with stacked harmonies and a gritty chant. Lead vocal is close-mic and raspy with doubled hook lines, ad-lib throws on the last word, and a short horn stab answers each refrain. Tape hiss, reversed cymbal swells, and a little crowd-room bloom give it a live, late-night shine., fallen angel, soul, blues, funk
