Moments Worth Listening For

The explosive brass entry on the opening track that immediately signals a departure from his usual balladry.

The gospel-infused intensity of Elijah Rock where the piano and choir reach a fever pitch.

The title track's tender lyrical pivot that transforms a love song into a city's anthem.
