Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive brass entry on the title track that signals a shift from 60s pop to 70s drama.
The devastatingly slow build of 'The Greatest Performance of My Life' where her voice breaks into a controlled roar.
The unexpected rhythmic tension in 'Losing My Mind' that transforms Sondheim into a soul-inflected torch song.
