At Every Single Possible Angle

Faye Webster “Kind Of (Type of Way)”

The previous two released arrangements of “Kind Of” play the song as a low key country song, but this orchestral version has a melodramatic old Hollywood sensibility that is well suited to the delicately fluttering melody in the bridge and chorus. Faye Webster keeps her vocal phrasing mostly the same rather than going big, keeping to her sweet spot of casual, somewhat self-effacing vulnerability. This particular song really demands that approach to – she’s singing about falling in love with someone and having that stir up anxieties and emotional impulses that make you feel like someone else. There’s an unrestrained neediness in this song, a powerful tug towards codependence that she’s reasonably wary of, but she’s also not afraid of giving in to it.
