Song of the Day: Crime of Passion

Today’s song is Crime of Passion by Tim Atlas.

Alt/Indie. Soothing synth (with hints of neo-soul) and mellow, introspective lyrics.
I’m a bit mixed on this one.
I’ve listened to it enough time to be completely sick of it.
That said, I also particularly enjoy the mood behind the warbling sound.

And worries melt like chocolate in my hand for you.

The lyrics repeat quite a bit, which makes this more akin to pop.
It experiments enough to separate it from the ‘norm’, but not enough to make it distinct.

There is an interesting remix by Alice Ivy (and I cannot state enough that this a full-on remix).
It takes the foundation of the song and builds around it with a handful of sweet choices.
Not for everyone, but the progression and pacing on this one has a few neat elements.
