Moments Worth Waiting For
The rhythmic, infectious scat-like repetition of the title hook in Zum zum zum that transforms a simple melody into a percussive vocal exercise.
The transition from a desperate, whispered plea to a soaring, glass-shattering climax during the bridge of Deborah.
The fourth-wall-breaking intimacy of the final track where the orchestration swells to meet her direct address to the audience.
