Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive, 80s-inspired synth-pop surge that anchors the chorus of My Boy Likes to Party.
The way the title track builds from a fragile piano melody into a towering vocal performance about the unpredictability of love.
The nearly six-minute sprawl of Love where the arrangement dissolves into a lush, atmospheric meditation.
