St. Louis's Kristeenyoung knows a thing or two about executing a concept perfectly. Her album, V The Volcanic, explores supporting characters from movies in each song. The epic "I'll Get You Back" is about the poor-natured apple trees from The Wizard Of Oz that have impressive throwing arms. Now that you know, you'll understand. The track is piano-heavy glam rock, if you may, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
"I'll Get You Back" is also a spelling lesson within a song, beginning with cup your hand on my a-p-p-l-e, your best friend must be b-o-o-z-e. Who knew the apple tree could have such a profound point of view, knowing that revenge is a dish best served in the form of hurtling an apple. Kristeen's voice is sublime in telling this story, almost angelic in nature if you think angels should be rocking out on the keyboard. Is this danceable, even? Well, anything can be danced to, but the claps of percussion promote movement here. Eventually you won't be able to stop swaying as you spell out all of the words.
