Moments Worth Listening For

The explosive transition from the steady, patient riff of 'Hold On' into the desperate, soaring vocal release of the chorus.

The sudden, jarring silence in 'You Ain't Alone' that gives way to a bone-shaking, unadorned vocal howl.

The woozy, finger-snapped intimacy of 'Goin' to the Party' that feels like a private conversation overheard in a hallway.
