Just like me, you’d probably feel a slight wave of confusion when you hear this. I couldn’t tell if this was more of a solitary listening experience or something to jam at a party. The vocals are so soothing that I want them all to myself yet the beat would pleasure the ears and the feet of a group willing to move and groove.

With a couple of listens it dawned on me that ‘The Size of Relief’ is actually one hell of a flawless track (fight me). I adored the poetic nature of the lyrics, plus the distant echoes of the chorus aren’t just a mere repetition for catchiness sakes. The more he says "my size of relief", the more the audience is left to really grasp the depth of that statement.

The smooth blend between acoustic and electronic elements had my dopemanine receptors firing off in all direction. You could just tell the amount of effort that was put into making this track a full sonic experience that’d add to your day and stimulating your mind. This may sound weird but ‘The Size of Relief’ isn’t one of those tracks you just play at any time, the sentimental value this could have on a person is immense and the amount of soul pouring out of Young & Sick here is a real treasure.
