Moments Worth Waiting For
The multi-tracked doo-wop harmonies that open the title track, mimicking a street-corner group.
The seamless transition from a Beethoven piano sonata into a 1950s prom ballad on 'This Night'.
The frantic, James Brown-inspired vocal ad-libs and brass stabs during the climax of 'Easy Money'.
