Every day, Magnifier selects key tracks from the most innovative and exciting artists for our Song of the Day. All the music on Magnifier can be added to your Music Beta library for free. Make no mistake: oh-so thinly disguised as an expression of confidence in her lover's ability not to screw up, every inch of Gaby Moreno's swaggering, blues-licked single is a warning -- or more accurately, a threat. A low, predatory guitar line prowls the track's perimeter. Fiercely pointed brass bursts snap like a spanking. Even the tambourine shimmers menacingly. The versatile Guatemalan-American singer-songwriter (who can sing effortlessly in English, Spanish and a dizzying range of musical languages), snarls and soars throughout the track. Her voice offering up a gently smoky, salty-sweet taste of the desperate insanity love can bring on, Moreno vacillates between sauntering confidence, giddiness and (especially when the vintage-hued strings come in) fierce vulnerability. She is definitely not a threat to be taken lightly. -- Rachel Devitt
