Killing Me Softly With Her Song

It's like a warm hug from the 70s, if that hug was wearing a tuxedo and drinking a martini.

A sophisticated, velvet-lined exploration of romantic resignation and late-night reflection.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The delicate gender-flip on the title track where Mathis adopts the perspective of the listener moved to tears by a female performer.

The weary, resigned delivery of the opening lines in Good Morning Heartache that feels like a heavy sigh.

The soaring orchestral swell during the bridge of Neither One of Us that mirrors the mounting tension of a failing relationship.
