Moments Worth Listening For
The opening bass line of Soweto which anchors a heavy political theme in a surprisingly buoyant pop groove.
The shimmering synth pads on Florir that create a sense of blooming light before the percussion kicks in.
The intricate vocal harmonies in the bridge of Navio that mimic the swaying motion of the sea.
