Moments Worth Listening For

The transition into the smooth, mid-tempo groove of Mrs. Santa Claus that turns a holiday archetype into a slow jam.

The lush, multi-tracked vocal harmonies on I'm Sending You My Love for Christmas that recall 90s soul excellence.

The playful, rhythmic bounce of Flyin' on My Sleigh that brings a modern R&B swagger to classic imagery.
