Moments Worth Listening For
The soaring orchestral crescendo on the title track that mimics the feeling of reaching for the heavens.
The unexpected rhythmic snap and brassy confidence during the transition into 'The Best Is Yet to Come'.
The way Mathis holds the final note of 'Warm and Willing' with a vibrato so tight it feels like a physical shimmer.
