Moments Worth Listening For

The massive orchestral swell during the final chorus of track 14 where the brass section matches her vocal intensity note for note.

The unexpected rhythmic shift in Slave to the Rhythm that transforms a dance track into a high-drama cabaret centerpiece.

The way her voice drops to a vulnerable, smoky whisper during the opening bars of Hello before the inevitable power build.
