As with his previous album, ''Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite'', Maxwell collaborated heavily with Stuart Matthewman, a long-time cohort of Sade (band)| Sade. The album lacks the extended saxophone solos of its predecessor, but continues the trend towards heavy basslines and string arrangements. Two of the album's tracks are instrumental, with the remaining songs focusing on a theme of the rebirth of love and spirituality. Maxwell has described this as a nod to the soul music of the 1970s, which he is known for emulating.
