Moments Worth Listening For
The smooth, smoky saxophone solo that anchors the jazz-pop hybrid of Victor Should Have Been a Jazz Musician.
The rhythmic, repetitive vocal hook of I'm Not Perfect that transforms from a statement of humility into a mantra of power.
The gospel-tinged piano and organ swells on the title track that provide a rare glimpse into Jones's personal history.
