Moments Worth Listening For
The soaring, gravelly crescendo of the bridge in I'll Be where the rasp fully breaks into a soulful plea.
The atmospheric, sprawling eleven-minute conclusion of Holy City that shifts from a ghost story into a spiritual jam.
The way the saxophone weaves around the acoustic rhythm in Cleveland Park, adding a sophisticated jazz-pop layer.
