Moments Worth Listening For
The aggressive, metallic drum machine snap on the title track that signals a hard pivot into the 90s sound.
The sudden, vulnerable shift into the 'Close to Home' interlude where the production strips back to raw sentiment.
The way the signature Phenix Horns slice through the dense digital layers of 'King of Groove'.
