Moments Worth Listening For
The soaring tenor lead on My Prayer that breaks into a shimmering high note over orchestral swells.
The rhythmic, finger-snapping charm of The Magic Touch that bridges the gap between doo-wop and soul.
The melancholic, isolated piano intro of Alone in the Night that sets a cinematic, noir-inspired mood.
