Every once in a great miraculous while the people will say to me "Reba, your vocals remind me so much of Siouxie Sioux. I hope you'll accept it as a compliment." Thank Jesus. While I'm going to assume this has more to do with gratuitous reverb use coupled with feeling it (lest I fall too in love with myself) I'll take it. In recent years I've had the epiphany that the great majority of the music I have loved the most over the course thus far of my natural days can more or less be boiled down to crooning, and Siouxie sits right atop this crooning cake. My most beloved illustration of said queen's said crooning is this song right here, embedded below for your convenience. Just brace yourself for that bas line/vocals tango that goes down at 1:15-1:18. That's the kind of three seconds that simultaneously causes me to believe that the most perfect moment in music has already been made and I should just resign myself to sitting back and basking in it, while alternately feeling that I may just lock myself in a room to sing some songs and never leave. Either seems like a good option. Looks like Siouxie is a Gemini, which makes sense.
