Barrington Levy

Moments Worth Listening For
The title track's vocal exercise where Levy treats the solfège scale like a jazz improvisation.
The oppressive, heavy bass drop on 'This Place Is Too Dark' that creates an instant sense of claustrophobia.
The sudden, dry drum fills that punctuate the sparse arrangement of 'Have a Roof'.
