None!\" (M1), which instantly raises the tension with its groovy sound, and continuing with the gospel song \"Just Take One Step; He'll Take Two\" (M3) sung with soaring vocals and harmonies, the album unfolds with rich grooves, while also showcasing Weldon Irvine's songwriting prowess in the fusion-like instrumental number \"Musical Interlude (instrumental)\" (M8) with its light groove guitar, and the mellow mid-tempo number \"Only Yesterday\" (M13)!
