Moments Worth Listening For
The punchy, melodic bass hook that opens My Brave Face, signaling a return to a classic 1960s pop sensibility.
The tense, theatrical vocal trade-off with Elvis Costello on You Want Her Too, creating a rare moment of grit.
The delicate, intimate acoustic guitar work on Put It There, inspired by a phrase McCartney's father used to say.
