Thanks for the info! Yes, it doesn't really shed much extra light does it, haha.
Is the flip in the same style?
I don't think Italian, because Italian girl singers tend to have quite brash vocal style, in contrast with the smooth relaxed style here.
A bit of a leftfield suggestion, but what if the vocalist is South African? Although it's definitely not her, I can imagine Dana Valery might enunciate in a similar way if she was singing this song.
