Mereba's second solo album presents a deep exploration of freedom and personal connection through her unique blend of soul and pop-folk sounds. This collection showcases her growth as an artist, offering more focus and idiosyncrasy than her previous works. It captures intimate moments of devotion, with tracks like "Ever Needed" and "Out of the Blue" that emphasize love and appreciation for both relationships and nature. The music is characterized by looser arrangements, allowing Mereba's storytelling and emotional resonance to shine through, reflecting her roots and the complexities of Black joy.
"You're the original/Don't let them counterfeit you," Mereba sings sweetly on the opener, alluding to early experiences in the label system.
"Soft breeze brought my burning thing back," encapsulating a serene connection to nature and the sustenance of personal relationships in her music.
