When &Tilly sings “There’s so much on my mind” in the opening of her wondrous new single, it immediate foreshadows the songs unlikely essence. “Life That Can’t Be Shared” is a dreamy singer songwriter retreat, a calm respite from some of the duos darker electro infused work. Soft pads and downtempo beats get exchange for sputtering strings and calculated acoustics.
