From the school of Erykah Badu soul.

I almost didn’t expect to hear from this pair again after the brilliant ‘Treat Me Like Fire’ but the New York duo are now on a major label (Polydor in the UK/Ireland) and this is their first big single, a swinging soulful hip-hop track with the obligatory rap guest verse from Troy.
