I love this more than words can say. I already enjoy'd Thrift Shop by Mackelmore, not sure if that some how influenced my opinion of this, but i'm sure it didn't hurt.
I would totally love to sing with that girl too, awesome voice.

Big Macklemore fan, here. I actually thought this was pretty bad. I mean, the musicianship is good; drummer has the right feel, the pianist has great skills, and the bass player has period-appropriate style. Vocals lost me. Firstly, the censoring of the words bothered me. Either leave them in, or change them to period-appropriate words. "Freaking" is not one of them. Secondly, the vocal melody is flat. Her melody and verses have very little range and are very monotonous. It left me bored. Macklemore's laid-back style is lost in translation.
