Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition into the bridge of 'Don’t Wanna Lose You' where the vocal layering creates a sudden, immersive wall of harmony.
The philosophical shift in 'Climbing' where the production strips back to emphasize the 'all that glitters is not gold' sentiment.
The way the percussion in 'Piece of Love' anchors the airy synth pads to create a classic 90s R&B pocket.
