Moments Worth Waiting For
The dramatic orchestral swell on 'If You Go Away' that perfectly mirrors the desperation in her vocal delivery.
The surprising blue-eyed soul grit she brings to the bridge of 'The Letter', contrasting the lush strings.
The intimate, almost whispered opening of 'Traces' before the full band fills the stereo field.
