Moments Worth Listening For
The way Robert Glasper's piano spirals into a frantic, beautiful chaos during the title track's climax.
The sudden, chilling silence that follows the heavy historical references in 'Letter to the Free'.
Stevie Wonder's unmistakable harmonica and vocals elevating the title track into a modern spiritual.
