I agree that Lindsey definitely owes his inspiration for production on "Illume" to Richard Ashcroft's "New York". I doubt very much that Stevie has even heard this song...unless she was a big fan of The Verve. I much more suspect that Lindsey is familiar with The Verve and Ashcroft's solo stuff.
Even more reason that I would love to hear Stevie's original demo of this song. She brought in 4 new demos into the production for SYW to bring in fresh material vs her songs from the vault, including SYW, Destiny Rules, Silver Girl & Illume. From the Destiny Rules doc we hear snippits of all these demos cept' Illume.
Too bad these demos are not in circulation from what I heard in the doc, the Destiny Rules demo rocks!
