When It Falls

Zero 7

A masterwork of mid-2000s downtempo. Sun-drenched Rhodes piano, breathy vocal harmonies, and organic textures that feel like a warm afternoon breeze.

February 23, 2004 · Ultimate Dilemma

Find on Amazon

A sophisticated, sun-drenched serenity that feels both luxurious and deeply comforting.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the flute melody drifts over the Rhodes piano on the title track, creating a sense of weightless suspension.
The intimate, dry vocal delivery of Sia on 'Speed Dial No. 2' that feels like she is sitting right next to you.
The slow, soulful build of 'Morning Song' where the percussion finally locks in with the bass for a deep groove.
