Moments Worth Listening For
The way the subtle off-beat guitar skank enters on the title track, immediately establishing its reggae-infused groove.
The soaring, layered vocal harmonies that lift the chorus of 'You Got Soul' to an almost euphoric peak.
The unexpected, bright horn section interlude on 'Let's Move and Groove' that injects a burst of energy.
The tender, almost whispered delivery of the bridge in 'I'm So Glad I Got You' before the full band swells back in.
