Ullah you're killing me!! This is so stunning. I love how deceivingly sweet Shoulder to Shoulder is sonically. It adds so much more weight when you hear the bite in the lyrics. Heart breaking.

An alluring one from My Cherie and I adore it! Reminds me of Girl In Red (those softer moments) at first and that explosive ending was just perfect!
