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 calls the writing a "piercing reflection on the political, social and economic flames engulfing many parts of contemporary society." [1] The music is set to blend neo soul with alt pop, synth-punk, deep funk and Brit rock stylings. [1]
