Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive percussive guitar bridge in The Million You Never Made where the strings sound like a drum kit
The transition from the hushed, spoken verses to the soaring, melodic hook of 32 Flavors
The biting, dry delivery of the title track's opening lines that immediately dismantle gender expectations
