When I first heard this song, I was BLOWN AWAY! The vocal arrangement, the dynamics, the runs! Initially, I wanted to cover all of this in this video including Jacob Collier’s harmonies, Yebba, and John Legends portions, but it would’ve been hours long! So, I decided to focus on Tori Kelly’s vocal runs at the end of this song!
