Background[edit]

Talking about the album, Abel said: "I'm really into African sounds. I have been for the last 2 years. The album is basically a compilation of songs that I felt were me at my most vulnerable and most honest as I was writing them. I'd say my general sound is very soul pop and funk but the album has quite a lot of African influences too. I wanted to try some of that out."[3]
