Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosion of communal harmony on the chorus of Make You Mine that feels like a sudden burst of light.
The delicate, piano-led vulnerability of May I Miss You where the production strips back to let the sentiment breathe.
The driving, rhythmic optimism of Facepaint that captures the frantic energy of a new connection.
