Moments Worth Listening For

The seamless transition from Johnny's velvet vocal on track 1 into the stripped-back instrumental dub version immediately following.

The deep, resonant bassline of 'Keep On Riding' that anchors the track while the organ stabs provide a rhythmic counterpoint.

The soulful, Curtis Mayfield-esque delivery on 'People Get Ready' that highlights the artist's R&B influences.
