Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive, jagged guitar riff that kicks off Night in My Veins, instantly setting a high-stakes late-night tone.
The transition into the massive, anthemic chorus of I'll Stand by You, where the production swells into a protective wall of sound.
The heavy, almost menacing blues-stomp of I'm a Mother, featuring a vocal performance that sounds both dangerous and nurturing.
