Moments Worth Listening For

The explosive vocal climax on the title track Burn where Moore holds an impossibly high, sustained note over a driving disco beat.

The sudden, dramatic shift from a soft, conversational verse to a full-throated, brass-heavy chorus on Hot and Tasty.

The intricate percussion breakdown in the middle of Night People that showcases the tight, syncopated rhythm section.
