It's the ultimate 'rainy night in a big city' album, but with a warm, expensive soul polish.

A sophisticated, warm-hearted exploration of intimacy and transition wrapped in high-gloss soul.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The warm, steady pulse of the fretless bass that anchors the opening of Driving.
Stan Getz's unmistakable, breathy tenor saxophone solo on the title track.
The way the arrangement strips back to just piano and Thorn's voice on The Road.
