Moments Worth Listening For
The crisp, minimalist Neptunes percussion on 'Beautiful' that feels like a tropical breeze.
The aggressive, synth-heavy bounce of 'Pimp Slapp'd' serving as a sharp contrast to the album's smoother moments.
Charlie Wilson's soulful vocal soaring over the bridge of 'Beautiful' creating a timeless R&B crossover peak.
