Meanwhile, Charlotte Riby’s plush vocal chops seem to long for something more as Frankey & Sandrino venture into house-laced territory with a pulsating low end that thrusts the piece across meandering synths swells before leading down to a spacious break. Resuming, Riby’s vocal prowess takes center stage delivering infectious line after line as “Love Completely” begins to truly blossom into the celebration it really is.
