Moments Worth Listening For

The seamless transition into the soulful Anderson .Paak hook on Stainless that anchors the album in classic West Coast sunshine.

The somber, stripped-back vulnerability of I Didn't Wanna Write This Song where the bravado slips for a moment of genuine grief.

The relentless lyrical endurance displayed on the title track which serves as a manifesto for his entire two-decade career.

Nostalgic saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
