Moments Worth Listening For
The cello mimicking the distorted bassline of The Hills with a gritty, percussive bow technique.
The transition into the bridge of Starboy where the violins take over the vocal melody with soaring precision.
Wicked Games slowing the tempo to emphasize the mournful, cinematic quality of the original's minor key.
