Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive vocal entry on the title track where Toots' rasp first breaks through the clean ska rhythm.
The heavy gospel call-and-response on Hallelujah that feels like a church service in a Kingston club.
The walking bassline in Matthew Mark that anchors the frantic brass section with steady, soulful precision.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
