Composition

Upon the album's announcement, Genesis Owusu explained: "I started writing this album because I was seeing so much of the world and watching what was happening."[2] Press material called the writing a "piercing reflection on the political, social and economic flames engulfing many parts of contemporary society."[3] The music blends neo soul with alt-pop, synth-punk, deep funk and Brit rock stylings.[3]
