This entire song is a masterpiece but that ending when she goes off on the drums. So smooth.

Easy to figure out how Elise is managing the loops.  She controls them with a switch in her hair.

Trying to pick my jaw up off the floor.  Getting some serious Sade vibes here. She has an effortless sense for arrangement and groove - it's so good.

God, that bass is crisp as hell. Everything about this is fantastic. Thank you for blessing my ears.

I can't decide what I like the most: the musical arrangement, the technical skill it took to play it, or the sheer beauty of two songs that compliment each other so well. I share this video all the time. Eternal love.
