the disconnect of styles makes sense for a one-off non-album single, and a remake from a side project. they don't need to be the same, they don't need to make sense back to back. but her tenacity makes it stick together so well. some of the lyrics when read into are (justifiably) self-glorifying, but they take the time and space well to spell out why, to be lovely all the same, to give a proper backdrop to how it all makes sense. the fluttering melody and skipping drum patterns on Flash in the Pan, and the tremendous swells and fake-out of Dream Sequence are trademarks of her own, but she still manages to make it all sound brand new, to bring something new to the table. i don't think another artist is quite like her, and it shows here very well.
