"Rumours have started that you are in love again, rumours that are completely unsubstantiated..." From the delicate but invincible piano, to the quirks of her voice, December is a beautiful song. A bittersweet love-letter full of sharp lines and gentle melodies. On a cursory listen it is easy to disregard - a soft, barely two minutes long, average song. But it isn't average. Not when you bury yourself in it, like the song is buried in snow. Her voice rises and falls - sometimes with the music, sometimes against it, sometimes dropping aitches sluggishly, sometimes lifting in to notes that almost break the windows. It is sweet enough to flow gorgeously, and sharp enough to hold you enthralled. It is, quite simply, superb.
10/10
