Recommendation

Should you sing it?

So Help Me Girl rewards a singer who knows the lyric well enough to focus on the lyric’s point of view. Its structure offers some repeated lines to anchor the arrangement, while the words have room to shape the lines without cramming them. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
