Why do we like this?

Just give it a second. The build-up for this one is like honey.

It's got bits of house, funk, and bossa nova reeled back just enough to let the vocalist shine -- and man, does it come together beautifully. Every little bit -- the tambourine, drums, guitar plucking -- is given just enough emphasis to make this an upbeat and laid back listen.

Just wait until that sax comes in. I almost wish it showed up sooner. Everything fits together with such ease. Might I suggest adding this to your summer playlist?
