Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition into the soaring, gospel-inflected chorus of the title track where the backing vocals swell.
The intimate, hushed delivery of the opening verses in Butterfly Kisses before the sentimental strings enter.
The unexpected operatic intensity and bilingual shift during the climax of Vita Mia.
