Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the lush, floral synth-groove of Green Aphrodisiac that feels like a time-lapse of a blooming flower.
The unexpected electronic pulse and driving energy of The Skies Will Break that signals a departure from her acoustic roots.
The way the bassline in Been to the Moon locks into a futuristic, cosmic funk that elevates her signature breathy vocal.
