Moments Worth Listening For
The deep, playful bass vocal '12:45' interjection during the bridge of Games People Play.
The way the lush orchestral strings swell to meet the soaring falsetto on the chorus of Honest I Do.
The seamless transition from a tight funk groove into a sweeping melodic breakdown in Love or Leave.
