Moments Worth Listening For
The rhythmic pizzicato on 'Stitches' that mimics the original's driving acoustic guitar with percussive string snaps.
The sweeping, melancholic cello lines on 'Somebody Else' that capture the synth-pop track's inherent loneliness.
The way 'Love Yourself' transforms from a cheeky pop kiss-off into a stately, almost regal violin duet.
