Notes on 'Honey'
“It's a catchy song with interesting minor chord changes on the chorus and bridge. As for the performance; I like her voice very much - it's unique. It’s a very compelling vocal performance with nice vocal doubling (which is not easy to pull off). Additionally, it has a nice complimentary bass line. I believe the artist has a vision, which is so important.” - Kent Anderson

“I really like the opening music. Spare drum, really interesting bass work, understated guitar—creates an alluring soulful groove reminiscent of an old Stax bed. The bass is a highlight throughout the song. Voice works well against the the groove—very inviting. Opening verse is strong—intriguing lyrics pull the listener in... really interesting vibe between her voice in the verse and simple but compelling rhythm bed.” - Michael Harris
