Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the classical piano intro into the aggressive, funky clavinet-style riff of Go Ahead.
The iconic 'no, no, no' hook in No One that feels like a collective campfire singalong.
John Mayer's bluesy, understated guitar solo providing a counter-melody to Keys' vocals on Lesson Learned.
