Moments Worth Listening For
The title track's opening vocal swell where the three sisters lock into a harmony so tight it sounds like a single, multi-tonal instrument.
The gritty, syncopated bassline of 'Somebody Wants What I Got' that anchors the airy vocals to the Memphis mud.
The vulnerable, unadorned piano intro of 'My Letter' that feels like eavesdropping on a private moment.
