Moments Worth Listening For
The bright, staccato vocal trills on the title track that mimic the feeling of literal effervescence.
The firm, grounded delivery of the ultimatum in My Kind of Man where the steel guitar punctuates her resolve.
The hushed, almost whispered intimacy of the closing track as the instrumentation recedes for the final chorus.
