Moments Worth Listening For

The raw, unpolished vocal strain during the chorus of Sky Priority that sets the album's emotional stakes.

The somber piano melody on Heart on Ice that transforms a trap beat into a modern blues standard.

The way the percussion drops out on Abandoned to let the gospel-inflected vocal harmonies take center stage.
