Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the sparse, vulnerable piano opening of My Love into the full, blooming band arrangement.
The rhythmic, syncopated synth bass line that drives the optimistic momentum of You Are.
The slightly bitter but smooth vocal delivery on Serves You Right that balances the album's sweetness.
