Moments Worth Waiting For
The effortless transition into the soaring chorus of the title track where his vibrato reaches peak shimmer.
The surprisingly tender, stripped-back piano opening of We're All Alone before the strings swell in.
The way he handles the theatrical optimism of Tomorrow, turning a Broadway showtune into a soft-pop lullaby.
