Moments Worth Waiting For
The triumphant brass and regal delivery on King Pt. 4 that sets a high-stakes tone for the record.
The transition into the title track where the production strips back to let the vulnerability of the lyrics breathe.
The way the bassline on 86 mimics the physical sensation of a vintage car engine idling.
