Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the English lyrics to the soaring Portuguese refrain in Travessia where his voice finally takes flight.
The intricate, percussive vocal interplay on Catavento that mimics the mechanical spinning of a weather vane.
The way the lush orchestral strings swell to meet his high falsetto during the climax of Outubro.
