It's Anouk's '80s synth-pop era and it's surprisingly soulful.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The shimmering synth pads that open 'Run Away Together' signaling a major sonic pivot.
The soulful, almost gospel-inflected vocal layering on the bridge of 'New Day'.
The way 'Dirty Girl' balances a gritty vocal performance with a sleek, electronic pulse.
