Moments Worth Listening For
The rhythmic snap-track and flirty vocal delivery that anchors the hook of Love Me Like You Mean It.
The transition into the soaring, cinematic chorus of Peter Pan where the production finally matches the lyrical scale.
The stark, emotional vulnerability of the title track's acoustic version where the polish drops away entirely.
