For all the talk of asphyxiation and drowning in "Continuum", the latest from L.A.'s Young & Sick, it all goes down a lot smoother than you'd expect, especially from a song that swirls with such conflicted emotions. The tune begins as a plea for a partner to remain dedicated, gradually morphing into a mutual reaffirmation of commitment wrapped in pillow-soft synths and clipped chords. R&B this breathless, with a sensuality wrung from every part it contains, is the perfect setting for a bloodletting. "The way I found you is the way I'll have you," the vocalist sings, a  disarmingly romantic line possessing a generous sincerity that would come off as cloying in lesser hands. Elsewhere, words like "eternal" and "faith" are tossed around like grenades with their pins pulled; for believers like Young & Sick, there's always a hope that eventually a few will turn out to be duds.
