Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the smooth, rhythmic pulse of Feel Like Makin’ Love where Mathis adapts his vibrato to a soul-inflected groove.
The swelling orchestral climax of the title track that showcases his signature high-register control.
The intimate, almost whispered opening of House for Sale that highlights the vulnerability in his lower range.
