I like this song quite a bit. It's a little forced in the second verse (you can just say you don't like the party and would rather be hanging out with people you enjoy, no need to put on the pretense of discussing Super Important Stuff), but the vibe is nice, her voice is solid, and it sorta kinda brings trip-hop back into the Top 40 for a couple weeks.

I do believe there's a sample from Portishead's "Glory Box" in there. (Or more accurately . . . in "Here.")
I hear it too, but that would be "Ike's Rap, Part II" (Tricky used it for "Hell Is Round the Corner", at about the same time as "Glory Box").
