Moments Worth Listening For
The sweeping orchestral swell on Valsa de Uma Cidade that perfectly captures the bittersweet beauty of Rio
The hauntingly sparse opening of José where Veloso's voice sounds like it is echoing from the bottom of a well
The rhythmic shift and vocal playfulness in Eu Sou Neguinha? which breaks the album's somber spell
