Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden shift into a soulful, Motown-inspired groove on 'Tempted' that feels like a total departure.
The frantic, staccato piano energy of 'In Quintessence' that perfectly captures morning chaos.
The orchestral, cinematic swell of 'Vanity Fair' that closes the album on a hauntingly grand note.
