Never Let Me Go: I don't know what that sound is in the intro of this tune, but I dig it. This song has a spacey feel to it that I really like. Spacey and mysterious - I can dig it. I'm getting into her voice more - it really works on these types of tunes. The hook vocals are sweet - they have a nice openness to them that fits with the spacey feel of it all. Looked up the lyrics, sweet stuff.
Breaking Down: I'm not really into this tune, which is disappointing because I really dug the last one. This one just sounds a little too corny. The effect on the piano doesn't work for me. I think I could like it in a different context, but not here. I'm glad it's not there the whole time. I like the verse string parts, but the rhythm they play in the hook adds to the corny factor. There's just a little too much going on all together.
Lover to Lover: My feelings on this one fall between "Never Let Me Go" and "Breaking Down." I dig the groove in the verses. There's a distance on the piano, and the way the bass sits well, but unfortunately, the hook kind of ruins it for me. I'm not into her voice on this one - it's a little overbearing. It's not doing anything for me. This title made me want more.
