Moments Worth Waiting For
The gentle, rhythmic acoustic strumming that opens Ten Years Time, setting a pace of patient reflection.
The shift into a more urgent, socially aware narrative on Latchkey Kid, where the soul influence feels most grounded.
The way the pedal steel-esque textures on Sometimes bridge the gap between British pop and Nashville warmth.
