Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition into the ambient, new-age wash of the title track providing a sudden breath of instrumental air.
The persistent, driving synth-bass line of Burnin’ Up that attempts to bridge the gap between 80s energy and 90s production.
The layered vocal harmonies on You’re Mine that create a protective, almost claustrophobic sense of romantic devotion.
