Moments Worth Listening For

The heartbreaking fragility of her voice on the title track, where the space between her words feels as heavy as the lyrics themselves.

The melancholic, slow-motion descent of the trumpet line on 'It Never Entered My Mind', perfectly mirroring the vocal's quiet despair.

The stark, stripped-back opening of 'If You Go Away', where her breathy delivery sounds like a desperate plea whispered directly into your ear.
