Moments Worth Listening For
The frantic, gospel-inflected build of the title track where Ross pushes her voice to a rare, gritty breaking point.
The dramatic orchestral swell on 'All the Befores' that mirrors the realization of repeating past mistakes.
The way the bassline anchors the airy vocal on 'I Can't Give Back the Love I Feel for You', creating a tension between weight and flight.
