Moments Worth Listening For
The bright, punchy horn section that kicks off the cover of Tracks of My Tears, instantly shifting the Motown classic into a skanking rhythm.
The heavy, dub-influenced bassline on Man Next Door that provides a darker, more driving contrast to the album's lighter pop moments.
The smooth vocal harmonies on Bring It on Home to Me that pay homage to Sam Cooke while maintaining a distinct British reggae lilt.
