Moments Worth Listening For
The shimmering Rhodes intro of 'Besteiras de amor' that feels like light reflecting off water.
The deep, club-ready bassline of the 4 Hero remix that pulls the 1960s into the 21st century.
The hypnotic, repetitive flute hook on 'Água De Côco' that mimics a tropical bird call.
