MAIA SHARP MERCY RISING

"Backburner is one clever lyric, but the beauty of the song is that it isn't cloying or cutesy.  The arrangement is steady and unswerving, like on the cruise-control mode in your car...."Backburner" conveys regret without ever sounding maudlin.  To extend the metaphor, it stays on simmer and never overheats."
