Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive, dry drum break that opens Like Sugar, sounding like a lost 1975 master tape
Chaka's vocal run at the climax of the title track where her power remains entirely undiminished by time
The unexpected dub-inflected bass drop in Don't Cha Know that bridges the gap between soul and UK club culture
