"Get Back To Me," is another beautifully crafted, impeccably produced slice of funky soul from AV - this one falling about mid-way between Motown and Stax/Volt, but with a totally contemporary sound. It's an old-school, funky, upbeat number, sexy and fun, with a gospel-style call-and-response at the end of each chorus, yearning for a lover to come back, even (or especially) "if it takes all night." It's fueled by a huge, irresistible dance beat and boasts a killer vocal breakdown at the finale.

The low-fi video takes place at a tenement building party, depicting people stuck in the inner city, but making the best of it on a hot summer night. It's something AV herself can relate to, living in her own troubled inner-city neighborhood of McCauley, Edmonton: a place filled with opioid-related tension, but also a lot of artistic and multi-cultural celebration.
