Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive, brassy synth hook of 'Papaoutai' that contrasts with the heartbreaking search for a father.
The slurred, raw vocal delivery in 'Formidable' that perfectly mimics a public drunken breakdown.
The transition into the Bizet-sampling chorus of 'Carmen' that turns a classical melody into a warning about Twitter.
