Hi, I'm User:MarioSoulTruthFan and I will be reviewing this article.

Lead

"who noted the track for being "completely different" compared to Ivy's previous material;" → who complemented the track for being "completely different" when comparing to Ivy's previous material.
The track was made available as a free download for a short amount of time in support of the release of All Hours. → Lacks a source.

Background

Members Adam Schlesinger was busy with his side projects Fountains of Wayne, while Andy Chase was...→ just doesn't flow, re-write it.

Composition and release

"is a slow-building, hypnotic and danceable track that manages to sound simultaneously like classic Iby and nothing they've ever done before." → Use your own words. The sentence has a huge quote.
"sleek beat, wistful melody and a vaguely noirish scene in a voice pitched halfway between a coo and a sigh" → Same here.

Critical reception

Excellent work.

Overall GA review

Very few comments which only can be translated into good work and dedication. Nevertheless, I can't pass this article. It has very little to almost none information. See Article length. Find more information, fix the issues above, work the article a little more and I'll be reviewing it again. Keep up the good work! MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 16:03, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@MarioSoulTruthFan: I think I have exhausted any readily available sources. I tried my best to make changes and look for additional sources. I am going to renominate it; just thought I'd let you know! Cheers, Carbrera (talk) 01:00, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Carbrera: It does look much improved this time around. It will be an easy pass. Keep up the good work and good luck for your final round at the GA cup. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 12:10, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

via the iTunes Store -> through iTunes Store
iTunes Store; the track -> iTunes Store, with it coming

This is actually correct since she continues her thoughts
