...There's really no mystery to the program's success, says Olds. Simple interventions, like encouraging new parents to show affection to their children or to talk to them more, result in exponential rewards for babies. In poor families, adults tend to speak to babies only to issue commands, in a business-only style of parenting rather than talking to children to communicate affection, identify objects, introduce concepts or teach language - a phenomenon more common in middle-class and wealthy households.

The album’s most unexpected success, “The Drop I Hold,” features Alexander sing-speaking over a lazy quasi-hip-hop guitar riff. The mix of the eerie synthesizer and subtle piano licks gives rise to a sense of pensiveness not heard on other tracks. Though it slightly builds cohesion...
