Recording and music
The album contains renditions of several contemporary pop and classical tunes. As well as an interpretation of the 1st Movement of Mozart's Symphony No. 40, "Maybe Tomorrow" incorporates a melodic motif from Maurice Ravel's Pavane pour une infante défunte. "Maybe Tomorrow" was in turn sampled by American hip-hop artist Kendrick Lamar on his 2012 song "Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst".
