Stevie Wonder is dancing all up & through these chord changes & transitions. Hiatus Kaiyote is no joke. I love it. HK are musician’s musicians... artist’s artists. Not everyone can cover their work, but if you put any track in front of them, they can handle it & put their own spin on it. They’re like a carnival. There’s so many rides to get on. So many games to play & all of them will leave you spinning, but fully satisfied.

She experiments with her music even after its been recorded, put for out enjoyment. You can hear it on some her albums as well. She said in an interview that alot of her songs start out playfully.

It can even be because the sound wasn't good on stage , and that she didn't hear the other musicians well . All possible , but nevertheless I heared two live registrations from her , both singing in my opinion out of tune , and not because she was pushing it .
