Moments Worth Listening For

The way the beat drops out on 'Not Today' to highlight the raw, conversational delivery of the chorus.

The intimate, almost whispered vocal take on 'A Little More' that feels like a secret shared between friends.

The transition from the lush, soulful production of 'Out of Love' into the sparse, reflective 'Growing Pains (reprise)'.
