Foreigner

A bold pivot from folk to blue-eyed soul. Side-long suites and brass-heavy arrangements capture a restless artist shedding his skin.

It's the one where he ditches the acoustic guitar for a side-long soul suite and it's actually kind of brilliant.

A restless, searching energy that trades folk comfort for soulful, existential experimentation.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sudden shift into the Sunnyside Road section of the suite where the mood lifts into a gospel-tinged strut.

The raw, strained vocal delivery on The Hurt that pushes his baritone into a soulful rasp.

The hypnotic, repetitive piano motif in How Many Times that perfectly mirrors the lyrical theme of monotony.
