Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the ambient, new-age wash of the title track providing a sudden breath of instrumental air.
The persistent, driving synth-bass line of Burnin’ Up that attempts to bridge the gap between 80s energy and 90s production.
The layered vocal harmonies on You’re Mine that create a protective, almost claustrophobic sense of romantic devotion.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
