Heart throbbing bass leads off the track, whereby it ushers in haunting synthesizer. The song's structure is a slow burn, plodding toward a worthy climax at the end of the composition. The real payoff, however, is the sublime vocals of lead singer Adra Boo. Her voice is just perfect: candid, plaintive, soulful, and fervent.
Adra Boo has been a fixture of Seattle's music scene for some time now. She was previously in Fly Moon Royalty, an electro-funk outfit. She has also performed solo works and as a featured singer for several notable artists. More information about this incredible vocalist can be found here.

Really enjoyed "Sides"!
It seems that Hotels is a newer artist? I hope this song will gain popularity but may be a "sleeper hit"
Great post!
