Moments Worth Listening For
The effortless transition into the soaring, multi-tracked chorus of 'Exceptional' that feels like a warm embrace.
The crisp, percussive guitar lick that drives 'Walking on Air' into a buoyant, retro-leaning groove.
The extended, soulful instrumental fade-out of 'Something Bout You' featuring a classic R&B saxophone solo.
