Moments Worth Listening For
The punchy, rhythmic horn blast that kicks off Domino and sets the album's high-energy soul tone.
The loose, almost conversational vocal interplay between Van and the choir on the title track.
The sudden shift to a fragile, Curtis Mayfield-inspired falsetto during the bridge of Gypsy Queen.
