Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the frantic energy of O Beco into the somber, synth-led introspection of the title track
The heart-wrenching simplicity of the piano melody that anchors the ballad Quase Um Segundo
The way the brass section punctuates the syncopated rhythms of Sanfona with surgical precision
