Noting that the album was inspired by a variety of artists including James Brown, Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak, the late April Boy Regino, VST & Company, Harry Styles, and Michael Jackson, Tabudlo concluded, “I have never done anything like this before, and I hope you listen to this album from top to bottom in a room or an environment where you can dance, cry, laugh, groove, and completely lose it with complete freedom and no judgement.”
