Moments Worth Listening For

The nine-minute suite of Le BOOM Vent where the music shifts from a tight groove into a sprawling, improvisational jazz exploration.

The rhythmic, percussive delivery of Womanifesto where Scott's spoken word roots take center stage over a minimal, snapping beat.

The effortless vocal chemistry with Anthony Hamilton on So in Love, where their harmonies feel like a warm embrace.
