A side ‘I Can’t Wait’ is unforgettable for its contagious bassline, flirtatious vocal cries, cosmological synths and perpetual breakdowns. With just as much appeal and even more originality, B side ‘Rock Me’ leans on funk laden stabs chopped into sonic grooves and humming vocals, drawing towards a beautiful climax that feels familiar and content.
