There is this sincerity in her voice that lets you soar with her high notes. As her vocals give you the shivers, the lyrics touch your soul as they brush against all your insecurities before letting you drop them.
Throughout the single, the light piano backing is a steady constant. While there are moments when there is a little extra piano, it stays as this intimate thread lurking in the back of your brain. Together with the vocals, it creates a hauntingly beautiful track that makes you emotional even as you can’t stop listening to it.
KIA uses her soulful vocals to send shivers down your spine and help you cast away self-doubt in ‘Imperfect’. The single uses the simplicity of vocals and a piano to send you sailing into self-empowerment while it haunts your mind for days.
