Moments Worth Waiting For
The surprising vulnerability in her raspy delivery of the French classic La Vie En Rose.
The way the lush string arrangement swells to meet her powerhouse belt on Dear Heart.
The stripped-back, country-inflected melancholy of her take on Johnny Cash's I Still Miss Someone.
