So Kindly, "Broken Jaw"

Sometimes it just takes a good line or two to elevate a song from "pleasant-yet-forgettable" to "must-listen." For Zimbabwean singer-songwriter So Kindly, who lists Stromae and Milky Chance among his influences, that line is "Elder eat us raw/ Let's break our jaws/ Let's break our jaws/ Let's break our jaws," which seems so out of sync with the sunny, strummy instrumentation that the song immediately becomes 100 times more interesting.
