The album opens with the idea of rebirth; opener "Past Life" is satisfyingly tactile in its use of whispers, fluidic synths, earthy bongos, and otherworldly vocals. This is followed by the luminescent, off-kilter R&B of "Crystals & Congas," which explores nature as a restorative force. The dreamy "Date Me" captures the vulnerable side of relationships, warmly beckoning queer love over a sped-up drum groove recorded in Detroit with producer Caleb Stone and refined with Cornershop bassist Anthony Saffery (Portugal, The Man)."Heart Wide Open," produced by MNDR (Tokimonsta, Carly Rae Jepsen) and Ebonie Smith (Santigold, Janelle Monáe) is a joyous explosion of jazzy, brassy rhythms that happen to double as an homage to Fela Kuti's legacy of life-affirming anthems. Finally, the closer "Set Me Free" transports you with hope to a paradise soundscaped with bright horns and island beats; a seductive ode to minds, spirits, and entwined bodies.
