Moments Worth Listening For
The stark, heartbreaking simplicity of the title track where the piano feels like the only thing keeping the vocal afloat.
The transition into the Cole Porter classic Night and Day which transforms from a hushed whisper into a lush, mid-tempo groove.
The defiant, brassy clarity of the harmonies on The Girl Is On to You that breaks the album's somber spell.
