This album is really all about the emotions , feelings and self awareness we feel in all our lives.
My souljazz style of writing is also enhanced with a beautiful production aesthetic courtesy of Julia "JVLIX" Rice.
My aim was to look forward and modernize my sound - and I think we succeeded - I hope everyone enjoys it as much as we did making it.
