Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the acoustic-tinged intro to the heavy digital bounce of Take Myself Away
The soaring, melodic hook of Give Me a Try that bridges the gap between dancehall and R&B
The way the bass drops with surgical precision on the re-imagined version of Solid as a Rock
