This is a record about breaking limitations and boundaries - a fusion of RnB , Soul , Hip-Hop , Electronic , and Jazz . This introspective journey is narrated by Jordan's lyricism that expresses the wisdom gained through life's lessons at home, chasing dreams, living with loss, and falling in love.
