Like his previous few albums, this one seems to be comparatively compact and self-contained, with no friends talked about on the tracklist. In a press launch, Staples calls the album \u201ca personal achievement.\u201d He additionally says, \u201cIt\u2019s me mastering some things I\u2019ve tried before that I wasn\u2019t great at in the beginning. It\u2019s a testament to musical growth, song structure \u2014 all the good stuff.\u201d<\/p>\nOn the nice and cozy and inward-looking lead single \u201cShame On The Devil,\u201d Staples talks in regards to the distancing results that come together with fame and tries to get somebody to not depart him. The music has a hazy beat; one of many 4 producers credited is Michael Uzowuru, a Frank Ocean\/SZA collaborator who\u2019s accomplished loads of work with Staples up to now.
