Desire, I Want To Turn Into You is a gem of an album that deserves all the recognition in the world 🥹🌋

[@teej_was_here]

a thousand percent! i cannot stop listening to the whole thing

[@jakej654]

how in the hell does she do that with her voice?!?! its so beautiful and unlike anything ive heard before

[@roboelectrooverlord6346]

She is borderline yodeling

[@ignerisviivii8551]

falsetto myboy, even as a man myself i can hit a similar range and volume with falsetto. look up tamino, he does a similar stuff like this, in fact, i learned from his song since my voice his similar to his

[@smithtaylor714]

Her vocal dexterity is so impressive, and she has the perfect music and musicians behind her to really showcase her talent. Well done all around. So, so good.

[@charliez077]

1:47 this whole run is PHENOMENAL!!!!

[@jonnil1997]

And the drums building up to it are so epic

[@VinnieGer]

Oh man, that’s good stuff. One of my favorites off the album.

[@alivds]

the vocals oh my GOD

[@lbrown7164]

Yerp

[@camichsoda]

her voice is something else. can't convince me she isn't a siren

[@edgarvinicius1765]

WOW WOW WOW her voice is unbelievable

[@esdraslopes6414]

vocal control goes crazyyyyyyyyy (as always)

[@engineercatherine]

I don't want to say underrated but the world is sleeping on this timeless talent. 2023 is your year!

[@MrChrisStingray]

What an artist. I remember her in Chairlift and to see how far she has progressed is so inspiring. Her vocals are like the instruments in this song. I remember playing the new album and was blown away.

[@alexk1064]

Wow! I fell in love with this tune, vocal, bass guitarist

[@jbell1]

이 음악 너무 좋아요. 라이브도 최고네요! 환상적인 보컬, 아름다운 기타 선율, 모든 악기의 완벽한 조화.

[@conor3311]

최고예요🌟🌟

[@daveh4925]

She's epic

[@justines1919]

She’s the artist of the decade ❤

[@GianlucaTidus]

She's a living flawless instrument

[@joeysnowynoey8054]

This is insane! She sounds so incredible live. You could cut this and put it on the album and I wouldn’t even notice. Lol

[@ianmcdonagh142]

Absolutely love this track , beautifully sung ❤️🙌

[@greatheightsu]

This isn't even 10% of her yodeling powers.

[@franlovelsimic8421]

She yodels? Where?

[@Irisister]

She’s hitting notes

[@camielpovel6290]

Well she calls it vocal flipping. But it's basically a more complex form of yodeling.@@franlovelsimic8421

[@sjwalk2]

And yet it’s utterly fabulous. She is beyond awesome!!

[@trueblue8869]

She didn't yodel once here lol but it's beautiful

[@aeromundos]

One of the best tracks of the year as well as the beautiful album : Desire , I Want to Turn into You.

[@baronvonsauna]

I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG

[@bootcutbandit]

Vocals are indistinguishable from the studio version. Unreal

[@paulfitz6614]

Her voice is amazing. immense talent.

[@blondeaubruno8082]

What a fucking great live rendition. Would die to hear a version with a full strings orchestra coming on the second half of the song.

[@JosephEhrenpreis]

[@lipexavier3515]

These days, I wear my body like an uninvited guest
I turn it right, and right, and right
Instead of turning left
But, boy, your patience is a magic kind of medicine
'Cause every spiral brings me back
Into your arms again
So no regrets
'Cause you're my sunset
Fiery red
Forever fearless
And in your arms
A warm horizon
Don't look back
Let's ride away
Let's ride away
So many stories we were told about a safety net
But when I look for it
It's just a hand that's holding mine
I'm wearing black to mourn thе sudden loss of innocence
And that's alright bеcause it hides the dirt
And hides the wine
So no regrets
'Cause you're my sunset
Fiery red
Forever fearless
And in your arms
A warm horizon
Don't look back
Let's ride away
Let's ride away
Woo, oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh
Oo-ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh ooh ooh, oo-oo-ooh
Oo-ooh ooh, ooh ooh, oo-oo-ooh
Woo-oo-ooh ooh, oo-oo-ooh
Oo-ooh ooh, ooh ooh, oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh ooh, woo-oo-ooh
Woo-oo-ooh, ooh ooh
So no regrets
'Cause you're my sunset
Fiery red
Forever fearless
And in your arms
A warm horizon
Don't look back
Let's ride away
Let's ride away
Woo, oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh
Oo-ooh ooh, ooh ooh, oo-oo-ooh
Woo-ooh ooh ooh, oo-oo-ooh
Oo-ooh ooh, ooh ooh, oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh ooh, woo-oo-ooh
Woo-oo-ooh, ooh ooh

[@BatmanHQYT]

God, her music has this completely enchanting, uncanny, bewitched quality to it.

[@b.baudelaire3482]

[@XYZ-mn2zu]

[@lucymt2334]

La musica de los angeles

[@doktorplaet9004]

A masterpiece!

[@forgetmenot9969]

❤👏😌 Love this song and this girl🌸❣️

[@huseinbajamal2584]

Had withdrawals of missing some of frou frou/imogen heap music.. thank you caroline, not only you filled the void but you made it your own and broke new boundaries...

[@Hobbbuddy]

[@kimberlyn81]

A hit factory 🤩😍

[@andtheflyinglizard]

[@myxamatozis]

Приятно звучит голос, радостная музыка

[@kennethpinlac01]

[@miiguelacz]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@krolsn]

🔥🔥🔥

[@juliannnaa]

OMG THIS SO AMAZING 😳😩🥹😩

[@fidia_temple]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ross2595]

This is the best version of this song I've heard, but I would like to know how it would sound if you swapped the guitar parts for a piano and perhaps dropped it an octave. The summer sun vibe is nice, but I think this song has much more potential.

[@danieldouglassouza8938]

😍😻😍

[@Irisister]

She’s absolutely 2900000/29 live

[@user-dr9zi1hw6r]

God

[@odile2odette]

she’s an honorary alp girl for that display of yodeling prowess 💚

[@myxamatozis]

Кексп вообще молодцы, новенькое, не очень популярное показывают, развивают музыкальный кругозор

[@Marceloedo]

Thank god for Shazam

[@reekhavoc2932]

No ragrets 🎶

[@sharpflavor3242]

Great! I hear some of Cranberries vibes here. Dolores RIP

[@kirillrogov9089]

it's grammy

[@solosol5430]

What a song for christs sake

[@petercorocoto4451]

Great song, great artist. Kinda reminds me of Beatles’ Penny Lane. 😊

[@phatjbl]

A superstar singer and artist here. The music industry needs more of this type of trully interesting music. It doesnt hurt that Caroline is beautiful enough to launch 1000ships. Any record cover with her on it or video is fine by me. Truthfully her looks are a bit distracting. Sunset is a standout track for me. Only a new fan... got borh her lps and the Chairlift cds. Filthiest that i missed her Australian tour as I wasnt clued into her brilliance when tix wouldve sold here.

[@sojtayong5466]

i can't clap and sing at the same time 😂

[@ssstammering]

Jesus

[@yournaturaldisaster88]

pls someone tell me who’s the blonde girl she looks gorgeous & cool 🥲

[@Jolezloba]

Maya Roseann Laner (it says so in the description of the video :) )

[@ash_barron]

Mother

[@mc.l9868]

Ok ok

[@declanw1136]

[@Seedr0]

How many doubloons for you to go in and cut that pointless ad at the end?

[@n.f.7342]

sigh, this is not live...

[@DanielRamirez-iq3wv]

I didn't know Sade' was white!
