“your eyes” sounds like partygirl spent some time immersed in old Joe Jackson records and those of Fiona Apple and absorbed a certain late night jazz lounge sensibility to inject into soulful pop songs. The piano work is wide ranging and simmers with an active intensity sweeping the song along as the vocals soar soulfully like the voice were hearing cut her teeth on playing endless open mics testing out R&B and jazz songs before establishing her own commanding style. If Grace Cummings had aimed more for a torch song style instead of searing blues rock her songs might sound like this as it has a similarly emotionally stirring power. It’s a song steeped in uncertainty and obsession, of being haunted by the memory of someone that gets you in all your flawed glory.
