Moments Worth Listening For
The gospel-inflected choir swell on Ol' Church Hymn that elevates the track beyond standard radio fare.
The specific, lived-in detail of the 3 AM in Carolina lyrics that grounds the album in a sense of place.
The way the production strips back to let his baritone resonate with raw vulnerability on Lift Me Up.
