Moments Worth Listening For
The sultry, slowed-down tempo of Favorite Things that transforms a frantic standard into a late-night jazz club slow dance.
The rhythmic, Jackson 5-style bounce of December Back 2 June that injects a rare moment of high-energy soul into the tracklist.
The raw, unpolished vocal delivery on Happy Xmas (War Is Over) where the deliberate vocal cracks emphasize the song's plea for peace.
