Moments Worth Listening For
The defiant, gospel-rooted swell of the chorus in 'Don’t Make Me Over' where her voice finally breaks its cool restraint.
The intricate, polyrhythmic percussion and woodwind interplay that opens 'Wishin’ & Hopin’' before the vocals enter.
The stark, lonely piano introduction of 'I Cry Alone' that perfectly mirrors the lyrical isolation.
