Moments Worth Listening For
The sweeping orchestral swell that introduces the title track, setting a cinematic tone for the record.
The intricate vocal interplay on 'Follow Me' where the backing harmonies mimic the lead's phrasing.
The subtle Latin-influenced percussion on 'Spanish Lace' that provides a rhythmic tension against the smooth vocals.
