Moments Worth Listening For
The euphoric, driving brass-synth hook of Ella, elle l'a that instantly lifts the track into a timeless anthem.
The haunting, rhythmic chant-like backing vocals on Babacar that ground the song's heavy, humanitarian theme.
The delicate, heartbreaking vocal restraint Gall maintains during the opening verses of Évidemment.
