A lush, jazzy vamp introduces the piece in such style. Her silky-smooth delivery effortlessly blends with the sultry groove that glides by. Everything has a sense of purpose while the many layers intermingle to create lovely hues. Lyricism serves as the very heart and soul of the track from which all else flows. The exploration of doing better, of being better helps to guide the entirety of the work in a way that gives it a natural quality. Absolutely timeless, the message feels uniquely suited for this moment in time. By improving oneself the whole of society can be improved but it takes one person at a time to make it happen. Careful melodies intermingle within the verses further adding to the cohesive, coherent whole.
Done with such grace and style, Terrill Williams offers a classic piece of thought-provoking pop on the uncanny defiance of “Better Than That”.
