Listen closer

Notice the weight of the slow pulse and the room left around the vocal. Rather than waiting for the song to become faster, hear how it creates intensity inside that pace.

Another way in

Play Heaven and then All That's Mine. The pairing offers another way into the period, without needing to treat the most prominent track as the whole story.
