The album features twelve very personal songs by Cécile McLorin Salvant - plus a cover of a verse from the Commodores' 1977 hit 'Brick House' - mostly recorded outside of a traditional studio environment and showcasing her genre-spanning tastes and influences. The album features longtime collaborators Sullivan Fortner, Yasushi Nakamura, and Kyle Poole, as well as cameos from singers June McDoom and Kate Davis.
