Moments Worth Waiting For
The way his signature vibrato holds the final note of The Island, fading into a soft synth wash.
The rhythmic shift into a gentle bossa nova groove on Like a Lover that feels like a warm breeze.
The intimate, close-mic vocal delivery on Photograph that makes it feel like he is whispering a secret.
