Moments Worth Waiting For
The gentle, inviting acoustic strumming and intimate vocal delivery that opens Samantha's Living Room.
The unexpected shift into a rhythmic, almost world-music influenced groove on the closing track.
The lush, multi-tracked vocal harmonies that elevate the choruses into something approaching baroque pop.
