Moments Worth Listening For

The explosive brass entry on 'My Man, a Sweet Man' that immediately demands a physical reaction.

The raw, gospel-inflected conviction in Millie's voice during the bridge of 'A Child of God'.

The way the strings swell and then recede on the alternate mix of 'I Miss You Baby', highlighting the grit in her vocal.
