Moments Worth Listening For
The unmistakable George Harrison slide guitar solo on King of Broken Hearts that instantly transports the listener back to 1971.
The massive, multi-tracked celebrity choir on La De Da that feels like a literal party happening in the speakers.
The surprisingly crunchy, modern guitar riff opening What in the... World that signals a more aggressive production than his 80s work.

Summer saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
