Moments Worth Waiting For
The effortless transition into the shimmering, disco-adjacent chorus of Will You Dance?
The way the bassline in the title track anchors Inara George's airy, multi-tracked vocal layers.
The nostalgic, slightly melancholic synth wash that opens the love letter to Los Angeles.
