Moments Worth Listening For
The triumphant brass swell that anchors the title track, bridging the gap between church pews and club floors.
The gritty, lived-in rasp of Staton's voice during the bridge of One More Chance on Love, showing the cracks in the polish.
The rhythmic interplay between the walking bassline and the syncopated guitar scratches on Listen to the Music.
