Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive burst of celebratory brass that opens the title track, signaling a shift toward a more rhythmic, danceable sound.
The hypnotic, swaying percussion on Cumbia Peninsula that anchors the guest vocals in a deep, soulful groove.
The way the acoustic guitars shimmer like a mirage during the bridge of Harness the Wind.
