Moments Worth Listening For
The relentless, percussive acoustic guitar rhythm that kicks off the title track and never lets up.
The sudden, soaring vocal lift in the chorus of Mr Rock & Roll that showcases her surprising vocal depth.
The quiet, vulnerable transition into the hidden track Caledonia that grounds the album in its Scottish roots.
